Preventing the scars in the breast increase surgery

3 types of scars are possible to introduce breast implants.

The scars around the areola (scars periareolaires):

They are located between the areola brown and white of the skin on the lower quadrant circumference. As the photos below. These are the scars of the breast prosthesis more discreet. They do not involve more problems sensitivity than other scars and do not breast-feeding later. They are also very suited to the black-skinned patients whose scar mostly hyper pigmentation Meets perfectly with the areola. Their only limit is in the diameter of the areola. When it is too small, it does not introduce breast implant in satisfactory condition. I think this is the path preferred because it allows also to place the breast prosthesis with a maximum precision.



The scars under the arms:

The first track very popular some years ago in the increase in breast is much less nowadays. It is very attractive to a theoretical point of view because it leaves the womb virgin any scar. But you must know that the risk of hypertrophic scars (ie thick), see keloids are more common in this location under the arm. Furthermore, this first path is less clear in the establishment of the implant which is the major risk secondary displacement of the implant up. The risk of breast asymmetry after fitting prosthetic breast is clearly increased the risk correlated with retouching surgical necessary. The first track remains very useful when areoles are very small diameter.


The third possibility is to move at the crease under the breast in the crease. mammary

This technique is very popular among our friends Anglo-Saxons. I think this is the scar increase breast the most visionary. Although hidden in the crease under the breast in a standing position, it still remains very visible in the supine position. The scar is more often thick and non-aesthetic despite all efforts at increasing breast. The first way is to outlaw smoking in patients. Indeed, their power is diminished healing and report any problems on the scar, the implant is right behind with the skin infection as a risk at the breast prosthesis.


In conclusion, and as always in the breast increases, we see that nothing is perfect and that each technique must be tailored for each patient willing to prothese breast. That is why the surgeon must fully possess each of these techniques and procedures should not be confined to one breast implant technique.
