Understanding the transaxillary breast augmentation procedure

On the day of the operation, the doctor will give the patient a mild sedative. Once the patient is relaxed, attendees will take the patient to the operating room. At the beginning of the operation, the surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the axillary dome to begin the process of breast augmentation, and then hits a vertical access tunnel which perpendicularly crosses all nerve fibers.

By placing the implants under the muscle, the doctor then examines the pectoral muscles to accommodate the breast. In some cases, puts on the muscles. In both cases, the doctor then manually places the implants in their respective locations.

Since the surgery does not take a long time, about a one hour, local anesthesia with sedation is generally used. The patient can go home a few hours after surgery. Ask a friend to drive you home, as anesthesia can leave you a bit groggy.

How is transaxillary breast augmentation surgery done?

Anesthesia

A breast enhancement surgery is considered a major cosmetic procedure due to the incisions and extraction of breast tissue. Therefore, this surgery must be performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and painless procedure.

While receiving general anesthesia, the patient is intubated by way of a certified anesthesiologist who inserts a breathing tube through your throat. Throughout the procedure, the anesthesiologist will administer intravenous medication to ensure you stay sedated throughout the procedure.

At first you will feel at ease and calmed at the intravenous medication begins. After you are relaxed, the general anesthesia will be administered. This is the moment in which you will not remember feeling or consciousness throughout the procedure. Your blood pressure and pulse will remained at a low level and monitored during the entire process.

Rest assured that Adore Plastic Surgery provides the highest trained anesthesiologists in the South Florida Area. Our anesthesiologist team constantly overlooks the patient’s vital functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of breathing at the time of the procedure.

Breast Implant Incisions

There are various types of breast incisions when performing an enlargement: periareolar, inframammary, and transaxillary breast augmentation. Most plastic surgeons prefer one method over the other, while some may recommend a certain incision that suits the individual best.

Below are the advantage and disadvantages of each incision type:

Periareolar (around the areola) incision

• Minimizes visibility of scarring
• Allows direct access and control over the placement of implant
• Small percentage of patients experience loss of nipple sensation

Inframammary (below breast) incision:

• Allows surgeon to create a pocket to place the implant behind the nipple
• This incision is easily concealed under the bra or swimsuit.

Transaxillary breast augmentation Miami (armpit incision) incision:

• Surface breast tissue is not touched
• Gives better access to the chest muscle
• Non-visible scarring
• Patient must be a candidate for this procedure

Although incisions are dependent on certain patient factors and ideal characteristics, the certified breast plastic surgeons at Adore Plastic Surgery suggest the transaxillary incisions for the most natural breast results. This is because the scar produced after the inframmamry and periareolar approach is more noticeable to the human eye.

What to expect after Transaxillary breast augmentation through armpit?

• The recovery period varies from 1 to 2 weeks. After the first two days, the patient can resume normal activities.
• The patient should avoid putting pressure on the breasts.
• The stitches under the arms are removed two weeks after breast augmentation surgery.
• During those two weeks, the patient should attend regular checkups. It has been reported that after six days some patients can experience severe pain. Patients should receive analgesics before Transaxillary breast augmentation surgery.

• Dr. Hasan recommends a postoperative massage to help speed up recovery and eliminate bruising
• Avoid heavy lifting or raising your arms as much as you can 7 to 15 days after the operation. Armpits Breast implants are generally resistant to minor trauma. At least during the first month after the operation, patients should not sleep with their face down.
• There may be risks of loss of sensation in the nipple and areola. Sensory nerves of the breast are the dorsal anterior branches known as intercostal nerves that travel the space between the ribs to emerge at the level of the serratus muscle, and penetrating the breast from the outside. Dr. Hasan explains that this situation makes it likely that surgeons who are not experienced in this procedure may damage or cut these sensory nerves.
• There may be a risk that the implant is slightly higher than desired due to the distance between the axillary incision and breast.
• As with any surgery there is a moderate risk of infection in the incision if the patient doesn’t follow all directions on Dr. Hasan.
