Endoscopic axillary or incision through the armpits is one type of incision a plastic surgeon can do to place breast implants. This type of breast augmentation is also known by many as minimal incision. This type of insertion is done through the armpit. Unlike inframammary incision where the surgeon can work closely to the part of the body he or she is operating one, with endoscopic axillary incision, your surgeon would need the assistance of an endoscope or a camera.

With this type of operation, the breast implants whether saline or silicone are placed behind or under the muscles. The good thing about this kind of incision is that the scar would be far from the breasts however one should keep in mind that even if you would like this type of incision to be done on you during your breast augmentation procedure, not everyone is a good candidate for such an operation.

Although the results are usually good with this incision type, there is the burden of difficult of revision. If you for example do not like the results or are not happy with the size of your breast implants, it will be more difficult for your cosmetic surgeon to fix it. If complications occur, ensuring that the implants do not cause your body any damage would also be a hard thing to do because of how the implants were placed.

So should you still ask your doctor about this procedure? The only way to determine if you are a good candidate for this kind of breast placement or not is to talk to your doctor. Asking as many questions about the incision is a good idea. It is also a good idea to ask your surgeon about other types of incisions and which ones are most suited for you.
