Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation in order to minimize the bleeding and tissue injury. METHODS: Since 2005, 27 patients underwent endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation. Intraoperative bleeding and dissection injury were markedly decreased. RESULTS: There was no hematoma, seroma and infection except for one case with partial poor incision healing. 16 cases were followed-up for six months to one year. Only one case developed fibrous capsular contracture (Baker II). Good results achieved in all the other cases. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscope assisted breast augmentation can reduce the pain, bleeding and tissue injury. It can also help to put implants to right position.
