Minimal Incision breast augmentation is performed on an out-patient basis using a general or local anesthesia. This popular
way of performing breast augmentation is through an incision in the armpit. Utilizing this technique, no incisions are made
on the breast or into the breast tissue. The incision is about 1 inch in length and heals in a small non-revealing fold in
the armpit. The procedure usually takes less than two hours. Through this tiny incision, a space or pocket is made under the
pectoral chest muscle to accommodate the saline implant. Placing the implant below the muscle helps it appear and feel more
natural. For this procedure the surgeon utilizes an endoscope. This device is a small diameter tube containing a camera that
is inserted into the pocket. The space is visualized on a monitor so that an exact pocket dimension can be created and any
bleeding controlled. An empty saline implant is placed in the pocket and then filled with IV sterile saline. The surgeon then
can adjust the amount of saline injected into the implant based on the size you have selected and correct any asymmetry of
your breasts.
