Abstract:
This article presents an overview of the transaxillary subfascial approach to primary breast augmentation with the latest-generation anatomic form-stable silicone implants. Although the axillary approach is a well-described technique for breast augmentation, there have been few reports concerning the subfascial pocket, especially in association with anatomic form-stable texturized silicone gel implants. The authors present their experience with the present technique, along with technical details concerning the placement of the superior pole of the anatomic implant underneath the superficial fascia of the pectoralis major.
