Seamless breast surgery: implementation process and methods
Breast augmentation , like any cosmetic surgery, directly depends on the abilities of the cosmetic surgeon. This type of plastic meant the introduction of the gel through small incisions under the patient’s mammary tissue.
Incisions increase if large injections are required.
Currently, thanks to the seamless plastic technique, the incisions can be even smaller in size than with other types of breast plastics, and their placement is transferred to the axillary region.
The final results are faster gel placement and smaller incisions, and thus a lower risk of scarring. With a seamless breast plasty,
If the patient has already experienced plastic breast surgery, they may be offered a replacement of the breast implant through the armpit. In this case, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Seamless breast surgery can be performed in two ways.
- "Blind" method. Basically, this means that the endoscope (small camera) is not used during surgery.
- Using endoscope. The endoscope is a small camera with a light emitter at the end. The endoscope is located in a special pocket, which allows the surgeon to monitor its progress on the monitor screen during surgery.
Both approaches give remarkable results, their effectiveness depends on how the surgeon prefers to perform the procedure.
Despite the fact that seamless breast surgery is gaining popularity, the qualifications of not every surgeon allows it. Therefore, it is very important to find a doctor who has performed several successful plastic surgeries of this type.
Mammoplasty through the armpit: advantages and disadvantages
The main advantages of mammoplasty through the armpit are the following points:
- The axillary skin heals very well, a scar remains after the operation, but it is well hidden in one of the natural folds.
- Even if the scar is of considerable size and color, most people will not be able to associate its appearance with breast augmentation surgery.
- The complete absence of scars on the chest.
- Breast implants can be delivered along the muscle, partially under the muscle, completely under the muscle or through the axillary fascial formations.
- Breast implants are not in contact with the breast.
- Recovery may be somewhat easier with surgery with breast implants placed under the muscle, since the muscle can be “raised” and not injured.
- A large number of implants will not cause tension on the incision, as it is held in the armpit.
There are several disadvantages of mammoplasty through the armpit, the most important of which is the lack of qualifying surgeons. Complications may occur after surgery, as a result of which re-mammaplasty will be performed, but with incisions on the chest.
It is important to know
There are restrictions on the introduction of breast implants through the armpit. Very large silicone breast implants cannot be inserted during this plastic surgery.
Another disadvantage is the friction of the breast implant against the skin during insertion. Even though the skin is sterilized and processed, for microscopic bacteria it is still possible to come into contact with the gel. As a result, an inflammatory process can occur that contributes to the formation of capsular contracture (fibrous capsula).
Most surgeons apply STERI strips to all incisions after surgery. They are necessary for the stabilization of fresh postoperative scars, in the process of their socks, you can use a deodorant. As soon as the STERI bands begin to weaken, it is necessary to stop using the deodorant due to the still not healed incision after the operation. Most surgeons recommend not using deodorant for two weeks.
There are several myths about the effectiveness of mammoplasty through the armpit.
- The quality of breast implants is noticeably reduced, as they are placed through an incision in the armpit. The location of the cut has nothing to do with this. This myth is relevant if during the operation the surgeon had difficulties with the incision and the creation of a pocket for the breast implant.
- Breast implants will change location. If a pocket for a breast implant is created incorrectly, then the implants can “fall” into the armpit.
