What are the incision methods for breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is to implant silicone prosthesis into the breast through surgery to increase the size and fullness of the breast. The choice of incision is one of the very important links in breast augmentation surgery. Different incision methods have an impact on the surgical effect, operation time and recovery period. The following will elaborate on the incision mode of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.
1. Horizontal direction of breast augmentation surgery incision
The horizontal incision is the most common incision for breast augmentation surgery. In this way, the nipple and areola tissue located in the lower groove of the breast will be retained, and the breast prosthesis will be implanted through the space between the breast gland and the pectoralis major muscle. The advantages of horizontal incision are small and natural trauma, short operation time and short recovery period. A famous hospital in Beijing used horizontal incision for breast augmentation surgery.
However, the horizontal incision has some disadvantages. Because this incision needs to be operated in the lower groove of the breast, the feeling of the breast will change, which may affect the feeling of the breast. At the same time, horizontal incision requires doctors to operate in a very small space, which makes the operation more difficult.
2. Axillary direction of breast augmentation surgery incision
The axillary incision is another common incision for breast augmentation surgery. This incision will implant the breast prosthesis through the suture point of the underarm muscles. The incision in the armpit direction is relatively concealed, and the postoperative marks are less obvious, which better preserves the natural feeling of the breast.
However, there are some limitations to the axillary incision. Because the operation needs to be carried out under the armpit, the doctor's operation field of vision is relatively limited, and the operation is difficult. At the same time, the axillary incision may also affect the breast nerves and blood vessels.
3. Breast fold direction of breast augmentation surgery incision
The incision in the direction of breast fold is a relatively new incision for breast augmentation surgery. This incision method will implant the breast prosthesis through the skin fold line at the bottom of the breast, which can better hide the surgical scars, and the postoperative marks are slight.
However, there are some limitations to the incision in the direction of the breast fold. This incision requires doctors to operate on a very small incision, which is difficult to operate. At the same time, the skin fold line at the bottom of the breast will become irregular due to postoperative extension.
4. Umbilical direction of breast augmentation incision
Umbilical incision is a rare incision for breast augmentation surgery. This incision will implant the breast prosthesis through the navel, completely avoiding the scars around the breast. This incision has better concealment and shorter recovery period.
However, there are some limitations to the umbilical incision. Because the operation site is far away, the doctor's vision is limited, and the operation is difficult. At the same time, this incision method is only applicable to some specific surgical situations.
Summary
There are four incisions for breast augmentation: horizontal, axillary, breast fold and umbilical. Each incision mode has its unique advantages and disadvantages. The horizontal incision is suitable for most patients, with short operation time and recovery period; The incision in the axillary direction is better in concealment and less obvious in postoperative scar; The incision in the direction of breast fold can hide the surgical scar, but the operation is difficult; The incision in the direction of the umbilicus completely avoids the scars around the breast, and the recovery period is short. The choice of suitable incision method can be considered comprehensively according to your own situation and the doctor's suggestions. When choosing a surgical hospital, it is also necessary to choose a formal and experienced hospital to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
