Asked By:deedee44 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I got breast implants a few years ago and lately have been considering to have them removed. They were inserted through the armpit. Could the PS remove them from the same entry point? I was told it would be removed with an incision under the breast. I really don't want to have a visible scar and would prefer it to be in my armpit. Can you explain if it can or can not be done? Thank you.
