When considering breast enhancement surgery, the amount of scarring involved is a common concern. While traditional breast augmentation techniques leave visible scars on the breast, advancements in surgical techniques now allow for a virtually scarless option. Reputable board-certified plastic surgeons, like Dr. Adrian Lo, offer advanced implant placement to meet the needs of women who want natural and discreet breast augmentation results.
What Is Scarless Breast Augmentation?
Transaxillary (scarless) breast augmentation is a surgical technique in which breast implants are placed through a small incision in the natural crease of the underarm. This method eliminates scarring on the breast itself, making it an attractive choice for women who want fuller, natural-looking breasts without visual reminders of surgery. Using specialized surgical tools and endoscopic technology, Dr. Lo is able to create a precise pocket for the implant while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Top 5 Reasons Dr. Adrian Lo Offers Scarless Breast Augmentation
1. No Scarring on the Breasts: Dr. Lo understands that many patients seek breast augmentation not just for volume enhancement but for an overall improvement in their appearance. Unlike traditional inframammary (under-breast) or periareolar (around the nipple) incisions, the transaxillary technique completely avoids scars on the breasts. By placing the incision in the underarm, any resulting scar is well-hidden in the natural folds of the skin and fades over time.
For patients who wear bikinis, low-cut tops, or lingerie, the absence of breast scars is a significant advantage. Dr. Lo offers this technique because it allows his patients to achieve the enhanced look they desire without the aesthetic concern of noticeable surgical marks.
2. Faster Healing and Less Trauma to Breast Tissues: One of the reasons Dr. Lo specializes in the transaxillary technique is the minimized impact on breast tissue compared to other methods. With inframammary or periareolar incisions, surgeons must cut through breast tissue to create space for the implant, which can lead to more post-operative discomfort and longer recovery times.
With the transaxillary approach, the implant is placed through the underarm without cutting through breast tissue, meaning:
- Less disruption to natural breast anatomy
- Reduced swelling and bruising
- A quicker, more comfortable recovery experience
3. Precise Endoscopic Assistance: Dr. Lo is known for his skill in endoscopic-assisted surgical techniques, and transaxillary breast augmentation is proof positive of his commitment to precision and safety.
Endoscopy provides a magnified view of the surgical areas, allowing for meticulous implant placement with a low risk of complications. By using an endoscopic approach, Dr. Lo enhances both safety and aesthetic outcomes, making transaxillary breast augmentation the perfect solution for many of his patients.
4. Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Results: Dr. Lo understands that patients want beautiful, natural-looking results, and the transaxillary method allows him to better meet these goals.
5. Discretion: The scarless breast augmentation technique is discreet because there are no visible scars on the breasts, so nobody can tell that cosmetic surgery was performed.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Transaxillary Breast Augmentation?
While transaxillary breast augmentation offers numerous benefits, it is best suited for individuals who:
- Prefer no visible scars on the breasts
- Seek a discreet, natural-looking enhancement
- Have good skin elasticity and minimal ptosis (sagging)
Patients who choose moderate to very large implants may require an alternative approach. During the consultation, Dr. Lo will evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine if the transaxillary approach is the best option for you.
Why Experience and Expertise Matters in Scarless Breast Augmentation
Choosing a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in transaxillary implant placement is crucial. While most plastic surgeons can only use saline implants when performing scarless breast augmentation, Dr. Lo can place saline, cohesive silicone, and gummy bear implants through a transaxillary incision.
Whether you choose saline or silicone implants, Dr. Lo will tailor the procedure to match your aesthetic goals and ensure long-term satisfaction.
