Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation

Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation in an approach to breast enlargement that allows for your breast implants to be placed with no incisions on your breasts. The technique utilizes a small incision in the top of the armpit that is first used to place an endoscope that allows for precise creation of a tissue pocket with optimal control and visualization all steps of the procedure. After creation of the tissue pocket internally, saline or silicone gel implants can be placed, depending upon your preference. Recovery from the procedure is identical to any other approach for breast augmentation, except that the early postoperative soreness associated with the incision location will be in the armpit.

Dr. Strock has been a leader nationally in advancing technical refinements of transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation, based on a long experience that began in 1996. This long experience has helped to make breast implant placement using this approach routine and predictable, with the advantage of avoiding incisions and scars on your breasts. With precision and careful refinement of the technique, Dr. Strock routinely performs this procedure and helps to educate fellow plastic surgeons who are interested in using this approach. Dr. Strock will discuss the option of transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation with you, if you are an appropriate candidate, as you consider your options for breast augmentation.
