◆ Surgical Method of Soft Breast Surgery
1. Surgical Methods depending on the incision area
Periareolar Incision Incision around the areola |
Sub-mammary Incision 3-4cm Incision in the crease under breast |
Transaxillary Incision 2-4cm incision under the arm |
Merits • Allows more precise operation since it's easier to reach the operation field from the incision area. • Effective in revision, correction of sagging breasts, chest deformity and asymmetric breast correction. Demerits • Impossible in cases with less than 2cm areolas |
Merits • The procedure is simple and allows clear vision for the surgeon. • Effective in revision and correction of sagging breast. Demerits • The scar may be visible when laying down. |
Merits • The scar gets natural and hard to notice as it fades away • No temporal weakening of mammilla sense right after the surgery Demerits • Arm movements may cause discomfort right after the surgery • Postoperative pain may increase due to the wider range of operation field. |
2. Surgical Methods depending on the placement of the implant
|
1. Subglandular Insertion implant insertion between glandular tissues and chest muscle Merits |
|
Merits • Easy to make the natural breast shape. • Simple operation with relatively less pain. |
Demerits • The demarcation of the implant may be seen or touched if the skin is thin. • The texture may feel not so natural when done by Teardrop Implant. • Comparatively higher risk of capsular contracture. |
| 2. Submuscular Insertion implant insertion below the chest muscle | |
Merits • No transparency of the implant. Smooth and natural postoperative texture. • Low chance of capsular contracture. | Demerits • Chance of breast shape transformation due to the chest muscle contraction. • Constant postoperative care is needed since the location of the implant may get shifted upward. |
| 3. Subfascial Insertion implant insertion between the fascia that covers the chest muscle and the chest muscle | |
Merits • All the merits of both subglandular and submuscular method yet the demerits can be improved. | Demerits • Not recommended when big implants are needed for hard skin patient s. |
| 4. Dual-plane Insertion upper part of the implant insertion below the chest muscle, lower part above the chest muscle | |
Merits • Can make the lower part of the breast full and plump. • For cases of sagging breasts, additional volume can be given around the upper part. • Prevents postoperative double line. | Demerits • High level of experience and technique is required since the procedure has a high level of difficulty. |
