Endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation improves visualization and control of the inframammary crease. This minimally invasive technique enhances aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction in breast augmentation procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • The transaxillary approach for breast augmentation offers discreet scarring.
  • A key limitation is the lack of direct visualization during dissection, potentially leading to suboptimal results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the use of endoscopic techniques in transaxillary breast augmentation.
  • To improve visualization and control of the inframammary crease during the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Initial cadaver dissections for instrument development.
  • Clinical application in 53 patients, involving 103 breast augmentation implants.
  • Follow-up ranging from 2 weeks to 20 months.

Main Results:

  • No reported complications such as hematomas, infections, or capsular contractures.

  • Consistently good aesthetic results and high patient acceptance.
  • Predictable and reproducible control of the inframammary crease achieved.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation provides direct visualization for precise dissection.
    • This technique expands indications for the transaxillary approach, improving outcomes.
    • The method demonstrates safety, efficacy, and high patient satisfaction.
