This is because depending on the reasons for the implant removal, plastic surgeons need to be able to see the breast implant and scar tissue better than a transaxillary incision allows. Even if simply exchanging implants, most of the time an inframammary fold incision is preferred.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As plastic surgery advances, it may be possible in the future to remove or replace breast implants through a transaxillary incision. An en bloc breast implant removal though would still be difficult and is best performed through a larger incision with more direct access to the breast implant pocket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To learn more and schedule a consultation, call us at 206-209-0988.
