What Can Endoscopic Breast Augmentation Accomplish?

Endoscopic breast augmentation is a breast enlargement method that allows for breast implants to be placed without creating incisions on the breast. Instead, the surgeon makes a small incision in the top of the armpit.

By utilizing an endoscopic camera, Dr. Hamwi has optimal visualization of all steps of the procedure. Dr. Hamwi will first create an internal tissue pocket to hold the implant and then insert saline or silicone gel implants.

While recovery from endoscopic breast augmentation is like that of other breast augmentation approaches, the incision discomfort is associated with the armpit rather than the breast. Endoscopic breast augmentation is also typically less painful. Most patients experience pain for a minimal number of days and return to work in 2-3 days.

During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Hamwi will determine whether you are an appropriate candidate. As one of the only providers in Sarasota, FL trained to perform endoscopic breast augmentation, Dr. Hamwi knows that without incisions and subsequent scarring on the breasts, endoscopic breast augmentation has made breast implant placement more natural looking.

Am I a Candidate for Endoscopic Breast Augmentation?

Good candidates for endoscopic breast augmentation include healthy patients who are looking to enhance the appearance of their breasts without leaving a scar directly on the breast or in the breast fold.

Dr. Hamwi suggests that endoscopic breast augmentation candidates should:

  • Be non-smokers
  • Be physically healthy and at a stable weight
  • Understand the risks of the procedure
  • Have a positive outlook and realistic goals
  • Be prepared to closely follow pre- and post-operative instructions

What Can I Expect During an Endoscopic Breast Augmentation Procedure?

After you’ve been greeted by our team and checked in, Dr. Hamwi will evaluate you, perform surgical markings, and ensure you are comfortable before entering the operating room. Then, you will be safely sedated.

During your endoscopic breast augmentation, Dr. Hamwi will create a small incision in the axillary (armpit) area. Dr. Hamwi will insert your implants with a sterile, no-touch technique to ensure safety.

Following endoscopic breast augmentation, you will be fitted with a surgical or sports bra that should be worn for approximately 3-4 weeks to minimize swelling and help your body adjust to its new contours.

Endoscopic breast augmentation recovery is similar to traditional techniques. You may experience some discomfort. Chest tightness is normal as the tissues will need to stretch for the implants to settle into place.

Typically, most patients can return to work in 2-3 days and resume most normal activities in approximately a week. However, avoid strenuous exercises and heavy lifting for at least 4-6 weeks.

How Soon Will I See My Sarasota Endoscopic Breast Augmentation Results?
