At its inception, transaxillary breast augmentation was a blind technique associated with complications and unpredictable outcomes. The transaxillary approach now involves electrocautery dissection with direct endoscopic visualization and yields excellent aesthetic outcomes with a concealed scar. Shaped implant devices can be combined with transaxillary augmentation for natural-appearing results that can be individualized to the patient.
