    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Subglandular breast augmentation is a common cosmetic procedure.
    • Traditional approaches may involve visible scarring and longer recovery periods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation.
    • To assess outcomes using textured silicone gel implants via a distant incision.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective case series involving seven patients and fourteen implants.
    • Utilized a 4 cm axillary incision, a 10 mm, 30-degree endoscope, subcutaneous retractor, and endoscopic diathermy.
    • Implants were inserted using a plastic bag; no drains were used.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • No complications such as capsular contracture, hematoma, or hypertrophic scarring were observed.
  • One case of infection required implant removal.
  • Procedure duration averaged 1 hour 30 minutes in recent cases with minimal bleeding.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation is an effective technique for patients desiring a concealed incision.
    • The method ensures precise dissection, allows silicone gel implant use, and leads to faster recovery with less discomfort.
