An innovative breast augmentation technique<\/h2>\n

Transaxillary breast augmentation is an advanced technique for placing breast implants while avoiding any visible scars on the breast. The procedure involves a short incision in a natural crease in the armpit so that there is no visible sign that surgery has been performed.<\/p>\n

Dr Christophe Desouches, who regularly practices all breast augmentation methods (breast implant, lipofilling), recommends this approach when possible through the axillary incision (through the armpit).<\/p>\n

Results and advantages of this method<\/h2>\n

Due to the expertise and experience of Dr Christophe Desouches, the result is a natural breast augmentation with no obvious scars or any signs of surgery.<\/p>\n

Invisible scars<\/h3>\n

The scar in the armpit is one of the least detectable of all breast augmentation procedures. The incision is placed directly into one of the skin's natural folds so that when it heals, it blends into the natural appearance of the armpit. In addition, the incision is short and may not exceed 3 cm in length.<\/p>\n

Perfect implant placement<\/h3>\n

Transaxillary breast augmentation, performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, offers the advantage of allowing for ideal implant height. Indeed, the final implant height can be assessed and adjusted intraoperatively with the patient in a semi-reclined position, without being constrained by the fixed position of a future inframammary scar determined preoperatively.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the intermammary distance (cleavage, natural separation between the two breasts) corresponds to the specific anatomy of each patient and cannot be surgically modified.<\/p>\n

When the transaxillary technique is mastered and correctly executed, it allows for optimal positioning of the implants, both in height and projection, while preserving a natural intermammary distance and avoiding any visible scarring on the breast.<\/p>\n

Axillary breast augmentation is not very painful<\/h3>\n

The discomfort that results from the procedure is similar to other implant methods. The pain is mainly due to the submuscular breast augmentation, the implants in front of the muscle in the subfascial position being much less painful.<\/p>\n

3D simulation and breast augmentation via the axillary approach<\/h2>\n

Before breast augmentation, many women hesitate about the volume, shape or projection of the implants.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the\u00a03D simulation<\/a>, you can\u00a0visualize your future result<\/strong>\u00a0before the procedure.
\nThis innovative tool allows you to compare several options and calmly choose the breast form that best suits your figure.<\/p>\n

During the consultation, several high-definition photos are taken to create a three-dimensional model of your bust. Dr. Desouches then virtually adjusts the size, shape, and position of the implants to project a realistic, natural, and personalized result. You can view the outcome from different angles and refine your preferences before making any decisions.<\/p>\n
