title: Improved patient satisfaction with augmentation mammoplasty: the transaxillary subpectoral approach.
abstract: A survey from 1983 through 1988 of patients who underwent augmentation mammoplasty performed by the transaxillary subpectorial approach revealed the operation to be amazingly trouble-free, with patient satisfaction reaching 98.5%. The severe problem of capsular contracture seen in the 1978 prepectoral (submammary) cases was virtually eliminated by this operation.
