< Endoscopic Breast Augmentation


When the incision to place a breast implant is made in the armpit, the dissection to the space below the pectoralis muscle is performed through a very small opening without direct observation.

Unfortunately, this can lead to inadvertent damage to muscle, nerves, and blood vessels as well as formation of asymmetric dissection pockets intended to receive the breast implants.


First introduced in East Asia, use of an endoscope in breast augmentation allows for a more accurate dissection from the armpit to the plane below the muscle.

Tissue damage is decreased as are excessive bleeding, later capsular contracture, numbness, and imbalanced placement of the implants.

Since the increased pain and bruising often associated with submuscular implant placement are lessened, recovery may be quicker.
