This video illustrates endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation for the gynaecologist. In this video, ideal incision site to perform endoscopic breast augmentation is the axilla (armpit). The endoscopic transaxillary augmentation allows the cosmetic surgeon to create crease symmetry, muscle division, implant positioning and bleeding control under total endoscopic visualization with great control and ease. The safe and effective performance of endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation procedures requires expertise with the use of the endoscope. Surgeons with endoscopic or laparoscopic expertise usually deliver excellent results with this method. Surgeons with lesser endoscopic experience complain that the technique yields suboptimal results. In truth, any technique yields suboptimal results in inexperienced hands.
