Seamless breast augmentation: how the technique is used, indications and contraindications

Breast augmentation is the most popular plastic surgery. She helps women gain self-confidence. However, a significant disadvantage of mammoplasty can be considered the scar after the installation of implants. No matter how skillful the doctor is, small marks that differ in color from the main skin tone remain. However, today a new method of breast augmentation “without seams” has appeared, which allows you to completely avoid even small scars.

Causes of scars after mammoplasty

The euphoria after mammoplasty surgery is spoiled by traces of cosmetic stitches; not every woman agrees to such “decoration”. After all, she wanted to correct the shortcoming, but received another reason for the complex. But today a new seamless breast enlargement method has been developed. Scars after mammoplasty are associated with a number of reasons, which depend on the location of the incision and the suturing technique. Sutures are applied in the following ways:

Suture after mammoplasty (1 year after surgery)
Submammary incision method . It is carried out in the place of the natural fold under the mammary gland. This is the simplest method for the surgeon, but the most noticeable for the patient.
Underarm rifling method . The implant is placed through a surgical opening in the armpit. From certain angles, the scar from the operation is also quite noticeable. Although not everyone will be able to determine why it is. There is a risk that the implant may become dislodged, especially if it is round in shape.
Periareolar version of the incisions . The areola is incised at the bottom and the implant is inserted through the hole. This method is quite difficult and also leaves scars.

At the site of the scar, the skin will be lighter. A thin strip will forever remain a reminder of the operation, regardless of the accuracy and skill of the surgeon. Also, the size and quality of the scar is affected by the patient’s compliance with rehabilitation rules.

Of course, today there are ways to get rid of scars and make them less noticeable. But in any case, scars are inevitable after conventional mammoplasty.

Postoperative period and results of implant installation

Upon completion of the operation, the patient is transferred to a comfortable hospital room, where the attentive staff of the clinic provides proper care. You can go home no later than 8 a.m. the next day. It will be possible to evaluate the results of plastic surgery within a week. The process of “shaping” the breasts will finally be completed in 3 months, at which time the postoperative sutures will become almost invisible.

A special technique for seamless breast augmentation

This method of bust enlargement allows you to completely avoid the appearance of scars and marks from plastic surgery. In addition, after the procedure, the rehabilitation period is significantly reduced, a drainage system is not required, and the pain is not as strong as with conventional mammoplasty. The overall traumatic rate of the body as a whole is also lower.

The invention of seamless breast augmentation belongs to the Russian plastic surgeon S. V. Sviridov. The method is based on the following principles:

Fibrin glue
During surgery, the tissues are not cut, but separated. As a result, blood vessels and milk ducts are not affected or injured. Therefore, there is almost no swelling after surgery, and pain is eliminated with conventional painkillers.
To fix the incisions, a special glue, fibrin, is used. It has been known in medicine for a long time, it is used in skin transplants, as well as in other types of plastic surgeries. Now it is used in mammoplasty.
The implant is placed into the mammary gland through the same incisions described above (summary, perioareolar and axillary). But thanks to special technology, there is no scar left in this place.
The installation takes place under the pectoral muscle, and it is not cut, but separated along the natural lines of the tissue.

As a result of a unique method that includes advanced technology and innovative surgical techniques, a woman can enjoy a completely aesthetic appearance after mammoplasty without the risk of scars. In most cases, after seamless breast augmentation, patients do not resort to strong painkillers and can soon lead an almost normal life.

Pros and benefits of the procedure

Seamless breast augmentation has a number of important positive aspects:

There is no need to remove stitches because there are none. The skin at the incision sites sticks together and grows together on its own, without requiring special conditions.
There is practically no bleeding.
No swelling occurs.
The operation takes significantly less time.
The breast remains sensitive after seamless mammoplasty.
The period of rehabilitation and recovery after surgery is noticeably shorter.
Minimal risk of tissue injury.
There is no need to install drainage systems on the sides of the chest, since the risk of bleeding is extremely small.
Due to the short amount of time required for the operation, the effect of anesthesia is reduced. It is easier to tolerate by patients. Recovery from anesthesia occurs faster and easier, risks and side effects are reduced.
During the procedure, the mammary gland tissue is not injured so much, so seamless mammoplasty can be done at any age. Breast augmentation is suitable for both young girls and ladies of an elegant age.

The above advantages and disadvantages make the seamless mammoplasty method more popular and safer.

What to consider before carrying out

Before lying on the operating table, the patient should consult with a doctor and discuss all important points. She must report her anamnestic data, namely:

how many pregnancies did she have,
how long did she breastfeed, how often,
how the mammary glands changed after lactation,
did she take hormonal contraceptives,
does he have bad habits?
does he go in for sports?
what somatic diseases does she have?

Together with the doctor, the patient should discuss the desired result, the shape and size of the future bust. The surgeon will compare her physical characteristics and capabilities, and advise how to combine expectations and capabilities. In order for a woman to really imagine her future breasts, a 3D projection is made. Physical data is loaded into a special program, and the result is simulated.

Before the operation, the surgeon carefully evaluates the “source material”:

asymmetry of the mammary glands;
how much the breasts sag (ptosis);
how parenchyma and adipose tissue relate;
are there any scoliotic changes in the spine;
chest width;
tendency to corpulence;
how good the skin turgor is, how soon ptosis will occur.

All this will help you understand which implant is best to recommend, its weight and size. Next, the doctor shows the client samples (models), she has the opportunity to try them on and see how comfortable she is.

Benefits of breast lipofilling:

Breast lipofilling solves two aesthetic problems at once - the correction of fat deposits in the area of “fat traps” and the simultaneous correction of the shape and volume of the breast
Rejection of the injected donor tissue is excluded, since the patient is not injected with foreign material, but his own
Beautiful and natural result, without contouring
Stable results in the absence of stressful weight changes +/- 10 kg

Contraindications

Despite a number of advantages over conventional mammoplasty, sutureless breast augmentation still has a number of cases when a woman may be denied the operation. Contraindications to this procedure:

malignant and benign tumors;
blood diseases;
age under 18 years;
pregnancy and breastfeeding;
less than six months after cessation of lactation;
exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Possible complications after

Unlike traditional mammoplasty, with sutureless breast augmentation, side effects are minimized. Hematomas and swelling are extremely rare due to the fact that the tissues are not cut, but separated along natural lines.

Also, the likelihood of bleeding is very low. And there is no risk of implant displacement at all, because it is placed under the pectoralis major muscle. Its contraction in the first hours after surgery cannot affect the position of the “insert”. The minimal trauma of the operation allows you to preserve the sensitivity of the breast and nipple.
