Abstract

Introduction: Augmentation mastoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in those women who are not satisfied with the size of their breasts. It was the plastic surgeon Hoeler who, in 1973, performed the first axillary breast augmentation. The absence of scars in the mammary region and the better control in the positioning of the inframammary groove are among the main advantages of this surgical technique.

Objective: to evaluate the results of axillary augmentation mastoplasty, with no endoscope.

Methods: A descriptive, prospective, longitudinal-cut study was conducted in patients diagnosed with breast hypoplasia at “Hermanos Ameijeiras” Surgical Clinical Hospital from March 2016 to March 2019. The sample consisted of 18 patients.

Results: The average age of the patients was 27.1±3.8 years, with predominance of those with white skin color (66.7%). Surgical wound dehiscence was the only postoperative complication for 5.6%; adequate cosmetic results were predominant (72.1%). The volume of the implant placed was between 226 and 250 cc (44.4%). The good result at the end of the treatment predominated (72.1%), all the patients felt satisfied.

Conclusions: Axillary augmentation mastoplasty with no endoscope is a safe and easy option to perform for patients who do not want a visible scar on the breast, it offers good results with very low percentage of complications
