What Is Endoscopic Breast Augmentation?

With societal advancement, evolving public perceptions, and continuous improvements in cosmetic techniques, breast augmentation surgery is becoming increasingly accepted among women. So, what exactly is endoscopic breast augmentation with implants?

What Is Endoscopic Breast Augmentation with Implants?

Endoscopic breast augmentation involves making a small incision in the axilla (underarm), through which the surgeon accesses the breast area. The implant is typically placed beneath the pectoralis major muscle. Under endoscopic guidance, meticulous hemostasis can be achieved, and a dual-plane dissection can be performed—resulting in a more natural-looking breast contour. Advantages of endoscopic breast augmentation include minimal tissue trauma, faster recovery, and relatively lower cost. This procedure utilizes advanced implant materials and represents an evolution of conventional breast augmentation techniques. We recommend consulting a reputable local hospital for evaluation and personalized advice.

Breast augmentation increases breast volume and improves shape and symmetry by implanting medical-grade materials or autologous fat tissue, thereby enhancing fullness and aesthetic appearance. Currently available augmentation materials primarily include silicone gel implants and autologous fat grafts. Silicone implants are inserted via an axillary incision and positioned in the desired location within the breast. Autologous fat transfer involves harvesting healthy adipose tissue from another part of the patient’s body, processing it, and then injecting it into the breasts.

Patients must refrain from drinking water for one hour prior to endoscopic breast augmentation. Preoperative assessments—including blood tests, blood glucose measurement, and electrocardiogram (ECG)—are required. Endoscopic implant-based breast augmentation is contraindicated within six months of pregnancy. In the days leading up to surgery, ensure adequate rest and sleep. Additionally, smoking and alcohol consumption must be discontinued at least two weeks before the procedure, as both may adversely affect surgical outcomes. We hope this information has been helpful.
