How does the endoscopic approach work for breast enlargement?
A. Basically, a small half-inch incision is made on the upper crescent portion of your belly button or under your arm, usually hidden in a crease. An endoscope is placed between your skin and your muscle through the fat to the desired location for the implant. At the end of the scope is a tiny camera which transfers the image to a TV monitor so the surgeon can always see inside the pocket. The sterile implants come from the manufacturer non-filled. The sterile implant is folded a special way and passed through the scope then filled with sterile saline to the desired size you discussed with Dr. Dobson.
