How It Works

A small incision is made in the underarm, allowing for implant placement without any incisions on the breasts. A camera-assisted endoscope provides a clear view of the surgical area for careful implant positioning.

Key Benefits

• No visible scars on the breasts: The incision is hidden in the underarm, keeping the breast surface clear.
• Minimally invasive approach: The endoscope enhances visibility, allowing for controlled implant placement.
• Preserves natural breast tissue: The implant is positioned without cutting through breast tissue.

Considerations

• May not be suitable for all implant sizes, particularly larger implants.
• Surgical time is longer compared to direct-incision methods.

Who It’s For

• Those who prefer a minimally invasive approach that may reduce post-surgical discomfort.
• Individuals with suitable anatomy for underarm incision placement, as determined in consultation.

How It Works

A small horizontal incision is placed in the natural breast crease, allowing for implant placement above or below the chest muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy and preferences.

Key Benefits

• Discreet scar placement: The incision is concealed in the natural breast fold.
• Direct access for implant positioning: Allows for secure implant placement with precise control.
• Versatile technique: Suitable for all implant types and sizes.

Considerations

• The scar may be visible when lying down or in certain clothing styles.
• May not be ideal for smaller breast folds, where the incision can be more noticeable.

Who It’s For

• Patients comfortable with a small scar positioned in the breast fold.
• Those with sufficient natural breast tissue to conceal the incision.

How It Works

An incision is made along the lower edge of the areola, following the natural colour transition between the areola and breast skin. The implant is inserted through this opening and positioned as planned.

Key Benefits

• Discreet Incision Placement: The incision blends with the natural border of the areola, making scarring less noticeable.
• Tissue Reshaping Option: Allows for breast tissue adjustments during the procedure, making it suitable for patients requiring minor reshaping.
• Direct Implant Access: Provides a central entry point for implant placement, allowing for controlled positioning.

Considerations

• May not be suitable for individuals planning to breastfeed, as it may involve incisions near the milk ducts.
• More suited to those with larger areolas, where the incision is less noticeable.

Who It’s For

• Patients comfortable with an incision along the lower border of the areola.
• Those requiring breast reshaping in addition to augmentation.
