    Arrow Silicone Breast Implants w/ Trans-Axillary Incision

    Help!

    I just had a consultation with a doc.

    I really really want silicone implants (heck! I waited till I was 22 and all good-n-legal)

    I also want them placed through the arm pit.

    My Doc says NO WAY. It would have to be done through the crease (cuz my nipps are too small).


    Has anyone had cohesive gel implants placed through the arm pit????


    I must know!

    Nope I dont think they can do it that way. Silicone implants are pre-filled. A filled bag is too big to place from an armpit incision.

    I dunno.. I wouldn't say that i have *small* arm pits. I figured it would be placing the bag from the side rather than from the bottom. Just a different angle, I had no idea...

    Anyone else? Halp!

    It's not the size of the armpits, its that they would have to dissect so much tissue to move a large bag from your pit to your chest. With saline they only have a little tube with a rolled up bag inside, its possible to place that endoscopically without lifting up your entire pectoralis muscle. Can't do that with a big ole silicone bag, sorry!

    Yeah, I knew I wanted saline the whole time so my doc and I didn't discuss sliicone much but he did say that you cant have axillary and silicone. You'll more than likely have to go inframammary with silicone since they are prefilled or you have big nipples. It just really depends on how big you want to go.

    A girl who I worked with got 360cc co-gels thru her armpits.

    If you go that way be prepared for a lot of pain. From what she told me it was extremely painful. Plus it's not as precise as the other methods for placing the implant, they are going in blind as such.

    Transax silicone is performed by some doctors, although it can't be done with large implants (300cc or less is ideal). It's done this way most of the time in Europe. I just love how most PSs claim to have the be-all end-all knowledge on one particular technique...when I find the one who doesn't, I'll choose surgery with him/her.

    Bear in mind the incision will have to be longer than saline (at least 5cm) for silicone implants. Try for research on docs who do augmentations this way, and make sure they're board-certified.

    Gah! I'm so sad! I really wanted silicone-soft bewbies that were scarless.

    If you were me... (this is for anyone, I appreciate your input)

    Would you:

    A. Get Silicone implants through the crease incision (and possibly end up scarred up)

    or

    B. Get Saline implants (that would feel watery and possibly ripple) through the under arm


    this is assuming they'd be the same size, the same placement, etc.

    I just don't know what to do.....

    I've got saline trans-ax. Obviously I wouldn't know if it was more pain than another incision, but at about a week and a half out I felt fabulous. I'm a little over 2 weeks out and my life is totally back to normal, and I've even started going back to the gym. I'm also going back to work tomorrow night. I only took the heavy pain meds for a week, if that. Now I don't even have any pain, but if I do, Aleve or Motrin would easily take care of it.

    I got silicon cohesive gels under the breast crease. Seriously the WORST scarring I have seen on other dancers are through the nipple incisions. Also under the arm is painful, inprecise to place the implant and can also keloid scar. Plus many surgeons will not do that incision - my surgeon wont do it.

    All the girls i have seen with crease incision have no visible scarring or the tiniest of scars.

    Personally i dont even care if there is a slight scar under mine. I have scars on other parts of my body from injuries etc, scars just dont bother me at all TBH.

    Grrrr.... I still can't decide. I'm trying to weigh advantages and disadvantages and it looks like it's a tie. I wish the answer would come to me in a dream or something. Ladies thank you for the input. If anyone else wan't to jump into the discussion I will certainly appreciate it.

    Yes, you can get silicone gels thru the armpit but you should find a doctor who has done it many times before. There aren't many but some do. And yes, you can get larger implants at least up to 600 cc's. Your doctor should use an endoscopic camera.

    I had trans-ax incision gummy bear/silicone implants done in 2006 and haven't had a problem. I am an American who had them done in France while I was finishing up school. My cc's were just under 400, maybe if they were bigger than that it'd be a problem but otherwise I doubt it.

    as Lucky points out, placing large pre-filled silicone implants through an armpit incision IS possible ... but the success of the surgery relies heavily on the experience of the surgeon and the 'tools' available to assist him. If you can handle the pain that will result from large trans-ax incisions, this approach bar none will leave you with the best overall end result. But if the surgeon botches the job in any way, this approach will also result in an end result that is aesthetically unacceptable. The usual problems are the implants not centered horizontally on the sternum, the implants not at the same height vertically, the pockets not the same size meaning one breast looks 'rounder' than the other one etc.
