目标: To introduce plastic surgeons to a new technique of breast augmentation that preserves mammary ligaments and structures, minimizing trauma, avoiding electrocautery, and allowing rapid recovery. The goal is to empower surgeons with an anatomically respectful and safe approach, reducing patient discomfort, surgical time, and downtime. 介绍: Traditional breast augmentation often requires disruption of natural anatomical structures, increasing trauma and recovery time. This innovative technique spares mammary ligaments and soft tissue integrity through a minimally invasive tunnel created via micro-incision and local anesthesia, without cautery. The approach aims for structural preservation, better outcomes, and enhanced patient satisfaction. 材料 / 方法: We present a surgical protocol using a ~2 cm incision with tumescent local anesthesia. A subglandular tunnel is created above the pectoralis and under the gland using a blunt dissector. A tissue expander is then inflated atraumatically to create a precise pocket. A silicone implant is inserted with no-touch technique. No electrocautery, no drains, and no general anesthesia are used. 结果: In a 3-year follow-up, a tissue-preserving augmentation technique demonstrated 0% incidence of inferior implant malposition, according to clinical data from the implant manufacturer. Additionally, regulatory trial data reported a 6.1% reoperation rate, 95.4% patient satisfaction, and an average increase of two bra sizes. A meta-analysis across 18 studies showed capsular contracture rates between 0% and 2.06%, with a median of 0.54%, reinforcing the benefits of atraumatic, anatomically respectful approaches. 总结: This ligament-preserving breast augmentation technique offers significant advantages: minimal scarring, reduced trauma, rapid recovery, and high patient satisfaction. It is safe, reproducible, and aligns with the trend toward less invasive aesthetic surgery. Surgeons adopting this method can provide elegant results without sacrificing safety or control.
