Endoscopic Breast Augmentation – Through the Armpit Without Scars
Modern plastic surgery increasingly focuses on precision, safety, and minimal invasiveness. One of the best examples of this approach is endoscopic breast augmentation through the armpit — a method that allows for achieving full, symmetrical breasts without visible scars under the bust. The procedure, performed using an endoscopic camera, enables the surgeon to precisely place the implant while minimizing the risk of complications. As a result, patients gain a beautiful, natural breast shape and a quick return to daily activities.

Procedure step-by-step
Endoscopic breast augmentation is a procedure that requires exceptional precision. Thanks to the use of an endoscopic camera, the surgeon can work with millimeter accuracy, which significantly impacts the safety and aesthetic outcome.
- Anesthesia – the procedure takes place under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient's full comfort.
- Incision in the armpit fold – this location allows the scar to be hidden.
- Endoscope insertion – a miniature camera transmits the image to a monitor, allowing for precise formation of a pocket under the pectoral muscle.
- Implant placement – the implant is inserted through the armpit and precisely positioned in the prepared space.
- Incision closure – the surgeon applies delicate sutures, and the scar in the armpit fold becomes practically invisible.
The entire procedure typically lasts 60–90 minutes, and the patient can return home the same or the next day.
Advantages of the endoscopic method
The endoscopic method combines technological precision with an aesthetic effect. Compared to traditional breast augmentation, the transaxillary technique has several significant advantages:
✅ No scars under the breasts – the incision is made in the natural armpit fold, where the trace of the procedure is almost invisible.
✅ Lower risk of infection and glandular damage – the implant is placed away from the mammary structures, which allows for preserving the ability to breastfeed.
✅ Natural effect – thanks to the precision of the endoscopic camera, the implant is placed symmetrically and accurately.
✅ Shorter recovery – less tissue trauma means less pain and a quicker return to daily life.
Dr. Dominik Boligłowa is one of the few surgeons in Poland specializing in endoscopic and videoscopic breast augmentation. He performs this procedure based on global standards of safety and aesthetics.
Recovery and results
Although breast augmentation is surgery, thanks to the endoscopic technique, recovery proceeds surprisingly smoothly.
Return to form schedule:
The effects of the procedure are visible immediately, although the full effect can be assessed after about 3 months.
The result is fuller, firmer breasts with a natural shape, without visible scars. See real results in the photo gallery.
Comparison: Transaxillary vs. Other Methods
The endoscopic method thus allows for more aesthetic results with less surgical intervention, making it one of the most preferred solutions among modern patients.
Does breast augmentation hurt?
Thanks to modern anesthesia techniques, the procedure is completely painless. After the surgery, patients may experience tension and slight discomfort, but these symptoms subside within a few days.
The surgeon recommends avoiding strenuous activity for the first few weeks, but most women return to daily routines after 7–10 days.
How much does endoscopic breast augmentation cost?
The price of the procedure depends on the type of implants, the technology used, and the surgeon's experience.
The average cost of endoscopic breast augmentation in Krakow ranges from 18,000 to 25,000 PLN.
On the clinic's website, you will find the current price list for plastic surgeries and information about financing options for the procedure.
Breastfeeding after augmentation surgery
This is one of the most frequently asked questions by patients. With the endoscopic method, implants are inserted under the pectoral muscle without disturbing the mammary gland, making breastfeeding possible after the procedure. The procedure does not affect lactation function, and a properly performed operation does not impair nipple sensation.
Endoscopic breast augmentation through the armpit is a breakthrough method in plastic surgery – it allows for achieving a natural, feminine bust shape without visible scars.
This is an ideal solution for women who value aesthetics, safety, and discretion.
The procedure, performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Dominik Boligłowa, guarantees a beautiful result, modern technology, and an individual approach to each patient.
