Can you have breast implant exchange through the armpit?

January 16, 2024
Asked By:evangeline jamie in Avon Park, Florida

My original incision is in the fold and I hate it. I do not want to cut there again. I am wishing for a breast implant exchange to go bigger can I exchange my old for new with an incision in my armpit of my areola instead? If not then I will probably never get my implants exchange again. I have no complications. Just want to go bigger without using the fold incision.
