Abstract
Following a decrease as a result of the plethora of negative characterizations of breast implants emanating from the media (and the FDA)1–3 since the late 1980s, the number of women requesting augmentation mammaplasty is again increasing. This renewed interest is based on the fact that the vast majority of patients having this procedure in the past have been satisfied with the outcome4–6 and that results from multiple well-designed studies continue to show no connection between breast implants and systemic illness.7,8 Because only saline filled inflatable implants (which can be inserted through incisions of minimal length) can be used at the present for primary augmentation mammaplasty, interest in application of endoscopic techniques has increased.
