What are the Risks of Transaxillary Breast Augmentation?
In addition to the normal risks of breast augmentation surgery, there is a higher than normal risk of the procedure not looking right, as the operation is performed remotely. For this reason it is especially important to find a surgeon who is skilled and experienced, not only in breast enhancement surgery, but specifically in transaxillary breast augmentation. You also need to know that in the instance of further surgery being required to the breasts, the surgeon will be unlikely to be able to use the original incision sites, so you may end up with some scarring after all. There are some breast surgeons who regard the transaxillary and transumbilical procedures as creating extra risks of the surgery going wrong. On the flip side, there are also surgeons who believe strongly that this is not the case, provided the surgeon has the necessary level of expertise.
