Objectives: The objectives of this work are to communicate a new surgical breast augmentation technique, whom advantages are being reproducible, with a clear and easy marking, fast procedure time for both breasts (less than 30 minutes), and through a minimally invasive incision.
Introduction: Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures worldwide, and its frequency has been increasing in the last years. We describe a new technique for performing it,
Materials / method: We described two case series. The first one included 100 patients before realizing the minifast technique. In this group, we analyzed the problems in the preoperatory evaluation, implant selection, dead times, surgical procedure and safety. After identifying the issues, we proposed a solution to every problem and the minifast technique was establish. Then we compared the first 100 cases with the second 100 cases with the method. All patients were primary augmentation patients.
Results: We found after analyzing the two groups, significant differences in different variables. The main ones were the speed of the procedure, 30 minutes or less for both breast, and in incision size, being with the minifast method 2.5 cm, considering it as minimally invasive.
Conclusion: The minifast technique is a new technique, with the advantages of being short surgical time, (less than 30 minutes), short incision size (3-2.5 cm), can be performed submuscular or subglandular, and is safe, reproducible, with clear markings and harmonic breast implant selection according to each patient anatomy.
