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.
