Transaxillary subfascial breast augmentation.

The author's view is that transaxillary subfascial breast augmentation provides consistent, satisfactory results with ease of dissection. Compared with submuscular placement, this technique involves less risk of hematoma, less pain, and faster recovery, and injury to the intercostobrachial nerve is less likely. Also, there is no change of implant shape with muscle contracture. (Aesthetic Surg J 2003;23:480-483).
