If you have been considering breast augmentation, you probably already know that there are four different incision options for placement of Breast implants: around the areola (periareolar), under the Breast (inframammary), in the armpit (transaxillary), and navel (tuba).
Two of these (periareolar and inframammary) are traditional surgical methods, and two of them are surgical endoscopy (transaxillary and tuba), involving incisions far from the breast. Doctors who perform endoscopic surgeries, promote them as being much more discreet and less invasive, but are they good choices?
How Endoscopic Surgery Works
Endoscopic surgery works by using a tool known as an endoscope, a long narrow tube that allows small surgical instruments to be inserted at a point far from the actual site of surgery. The doctor can look at the progress of the surgery through a video camera on the endoscope and instruments can be manipulated remotely. It allows very small incisions and can allow for very accurate work, without damaging surrounding tissue.
To insert the implant through the navel or the armpit, the implant should be deflated and rolled tightly. This allows the implant to be moved from the incision to the breast through small "tracks" created under the skin.
Since Endoscopy Surgery allows for very small incisions, far from the breasts, in some cases, it also allows for very fast recovery.
Options
Because breast implants must be deflated when placed via endoscopic surgery, and since silicone breast implants are filled at the factory, it is impossible to use silicone breast implants in endoscopic surgeries. If you want silicone breast implants, you must use a more traditional breast implant surgical method.
Results
A major problem with endoscopic surgery is that it can be very difficult for doctors to achieve symmetrical pockets of breast implants. Endoscopic breast augmentation tends more often to have uneven results, with one breast sitting visibly higher than the other. If you are considering an endoscopic breast augmentation, be sure to look at all the doctor's previous results to have a better idea of what is likely to be the outcome for your procedure.
Revision Surgery
When it is necessary to do a secondary or revision surgery, it is very rare that it can be performed endoscopically. Typically, when an incision is required inframmamary is used, although sometimes a periareolar incision may work as well. Given that around one third of women need revision surgery in the first three years after getting breast augmentation, you may end up with an inframammary incision, even if you choose endoscopic surgery, the first time.
Discreet?
The main argument for endoscopic surgery breasts is that it is "secret." Endoscopic breast augmentation incisions are placed far from the breasts, which prevents people from learning that you received breast implants. This can work out this way, if the wound heals well. If the wound heals poorly, it can become a visible scar or, worse still, become a very visible keloid. A woman with a keloid scar in the armpit area will be aware of it herself in any clothing without sleeves, including a bathing suit. And a keloid in the navel area, can make you uncomfortable wearing skimpy clothing and virtually excludes any bikini. Because the desire to feel less self-conscious in clothing, especially when wearing bathing suits, is the main reason that women want a breast augmentation surgery, this is potentially very serious side effect.
