Background: Endoscopic transaxillary dual plane breast augmentation is currently the treatment of choice of breast augmentation. Although the dual-plane pocket technique yields excellent outcomes, there are few reports that describe a dual-plane transaxillary approach technique using an endoscope.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results and complications of patients who had undergone endoscopic transaxillary dual-plane breast augmentation.
Methods: The patients who had undergone transaxillary dual-plane breast augmentation using endoscope from January 2014 to December 2017 were reviewed.
Results: A total of 58 patients underwent endoscopic dual-plane breast augmentation through the axillary incision approach. Of these, only one patient (1.7%) showed bilateral superior dislocation as a complication, which was treated by endoscopic transaxillary capsulotomy. No serious complications were reported during the course of this study. All patients were discharged on day one postoperatively and recovered quickly.
Conclusion: Endoscopic dual-plane pocket breast augmentation through the axillary approach is a safe operation, has a low complication rate, and yields satisfactory results in the patients.
