Axillary Approach

All of these images are actual results of Dr. Clark’s patients, and have not been simulated or altered in any way.

The axillary incision is the Rolls Royce of scars. There is absolutely no scar on breast. The scar is in a natural crease in the highest point of the hollow of the armpit.

Pros: Best scar

Cons:

• Not everyone can have this approach, i.e., if you droop too much.
• If you get a hard breast (capsular contracture), which occurs around 5% of the time, it will need to be treated by way of an additional perioreolar or inframammary scar.
