Scarless Breast Implants / Augmentation Procedure Description
Scarless breast implant surgery is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. A certified cosmetic surgeon, such as Dr. Brandow, will make a small incision under the breast, around the nipple or under the arm and a saline implant will be inserted under the breast tissue or under the breast tissue and the underlying muscle. Each technique has its advantages depending on your individual scarless breast augmentation procedure.

Recuperation and Healing After Scarless Breast Surgery in Philadelphia
After scarless breast augmentation surgery the patient goes home in an elastic bra. The bra helps hold the breasts in the correct position. Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication. Sutures are usually removed in 7-12 days. Light activities can be resumed as tolerated. Aerobic activities can be started in about 3 weeks. Moving or sliding the implants within the breast pockets during the postoperative period may reduce the frequency of wrinkling.
Other Options to Enhance Scarless Breast Implants in Philadelphia
Scarless breast augmentation surgery is often combined with breast lift surgery. If the breasts are sagging in addition to being small, a combination of breast implants and a breast lift can create beautiful, youthful-looking breasts.
There are numerous factors that can contribute to physical changes in breast shape over time, including the natural aging process, pregnancy and breastfeeding. As a result, the breasts may begin to sag or droop, leading to a loss of firmness and definition. Breast lift surgery can raise the breasts and achieve a firmer-looking result. Scarless breast implant surgeon Dr. Brandow can further discuss if a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift procedure is right for you during your consultation at our Philadelphia offices.
