Women can have breast enlargement without any scars on the breast. The breast implants are placed behind the chest muscle layers for better coverage and the incisions are placed in the underarm area, hidden after surgery. Although silicone filled implants can be used, saline filled implants are easier to insert. The procedure is a good choice for small breasted patients who do not have sagging. However, removal or replacement of implants typically requires a different incision in the breast fold. Transaxillary breast augmentation procedure takes about 2 hours and the general recovery is about 1 to 2 weeks.
