Dr. Mills' Preferred Technique for Breast Augmentation


There are many surgical approaches for breast augmentation, which include inconspicuous incisions in the armpit, underneath the breast, around the areola or in the belly button.  Dr. Mills can perform all these approaches, but prefers the transaxillary approach.  Referred to as a TransAxillary SubPectoral Augmentation (TASPA), this technique involves making a small incision in the armpit to place a breast implant beneath the chest wall muscle.  Dr. Mills feels that a TASPA generally yields the most natural-looking result with minimal scarring.
