Breast
augmentation procedures typically last approximately 1 to 2
hours. Prior to the start of your breast surgical procedure the
treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed and an anesthetic will be
administered. Depending on the surgeon’s preferences and the nature
of the procedure, a local anesthetic in combination with intravenous
sedation or general anesthesia will be used.

The
transaxillary incision is placed in the natural fold of the armpit;
therefore there will be no scar on the breast. A small incision is
made inside each armpit. Using an instrument known as a retractor,
the surgeon will open the incision in order to gain better access to
the breast tissue below. Although the incision will be made as
inconspicuously as possible, its length and appearance may vary
depending on the type and size of breast implant, your body contours,
and the surgeon’s preference.
