Surgical Breast Augmentation
At Bioscor we specialise in breast augmentation via transaxiallary incision, an incision placed in the natural folds of the skin in the armpit.
The breast comprises a complex group of tissues, including glandular, fatty, and fibrous tissues. The breast is positioned over the pectoral muscles of the chest wall and is attached to the chest wall by fibrous strands called Cooper's ligaments.
The breast extends as high as the collarbone, as far in the middle of the chest area as the breastbone, and as far toward to outside of the chest area as the armpit. When lying down, the armpit is immediately below the breast.
How is the Transaxillary Incision Performed?
To perform the transaxillary incision, the incision is made in the natural folds of the armpit tissue, then a channel is created up to the breast. This procedure is sometimes performed with an endoscope, or a small tube with a surgical light and camera embedded in the end, to provide visibility through the channel. The implant is inserted and moved through the channel, then positioned and centered behind the nipple.
Advantages of the Transaxillary Incision
The biggest advantage with the transaxillary incision is that the scar is not on the breast.

Fat Transfer
Fat transfer for breast augmentation is an advantageous safer alternative to artificial implants as patients need not be concerned about the risks of artificial implants such as rupture, infection, capsular contraction, scarring and unnatural texture.
Breast tissue is made up mostly of fat cells, making transplanted fat very compatible; more so than saline or silicone implants. The result is therefore more natural in appearance and feel.
This type of breast augmentation is ideal for women who wish to firm up their breast especially post-pregnancy and for those who want a more "fuller" breast especially if naturally born with a small cup size.

Breast Lift
Using special threads one can achieve a natural looking lift around the eye area with minimal surgery and downtime. The threads help lift the skin in the target area, achieving a more natural appearance.
