title: [Transaxillary mammary augmentation with texture silicone implants].
abstract: 45 texture silicone prostheses (Siltex, Mentor Co.) were used for augmentation of ptotic and hypoplastic breasts in 23 women, 17-45 years old. The dissection was submammary in all cases and the results were very good. In only 1 of 45 breasts is there Baker grade III contracture, and in 1 case the placement of the prosthesis was too high. There were no other complications. The axillary approach is recommended to reduce the rate of complications and to conceal the scar.
