Transaxillary Incision in Paradise Valley, Arizona (AZ)
Your surgeon can insert your breast implants through
transaxillary incisions, which are made in the natural creases of your armpits.
Your surgeon guides your implants through these incisions and through channels leading
into your breasts. The transaxillary incision hides scarring well, but your
breast augmentation surgery may be more challenging.
Advantages of transaxillary incision
There are multiple benefits to the transaxillary incision
placement.
- The scars are hidden in the natural crease of
your underarms.
- There is little chance of damaging your ability
to breastfeed.
- There is low risk of nerve damage that can
affect the sensitivity of your breasts and nipples.
Disadvantages
There are notable downsides to the transaxillary incision as
well.
- There is an increased risk of nerve damage
affecting sensation around your arms and hands.
- Implant placement is more difficult than with other
incisions.
- It may not be possible to place larger implants,
especially pre-filled silicone implants.
- The incisions can’t be reused, and future
surgeries will require incisions nearer your breasts.
