The transaxillary incision is made in the underarm or armpit area, through which the surgeon inserts the implant through a channel into the breast. A transaxillary incision can be used for either open or endoscopic procedures. The primary advantage of the transaxillary incision is that it leaves minimal scarring overall, and no scarring to the breast at all. 4, record 1, English, - transaxillary%20incision
