Nowadays, some people regret having a breast augmentation surgery, considering their implants oversized and not natural looking. However, the decision of having a reduction procedure is not easy, since it implies more skin scaring.
Some patients would like to reduce their implant dimensions about one or two sizes without having a new scar. Considering the skin and muscle previously involved, this represents a problem for the surgeon, who must perform a technique without long or bigger scars.
Therefore, we have developed a new technique, which allows us to perform an easy and efficient implant volume reduction avoiding the scar consequences of a breast lift surgery.
Patients
To achieve this procedure, we require that the patient fulfils the following requirements:
Technique
To initiate, the breast area involved is infiltrated with a dilution of adrenaline and physiologic solution (1:10, 000). The next step is to perform an incision right at the same place where the previous scar has been made, allowing us to remove the previous scar completely.
The tissue is dissected up to the implant until the implant is released, removed and exchanged for a smaller size. All the extra space left from the previous implant is sutured together in a circular fashion with Vicryl 1-0. Hemostasis is reviewed, and a smaller implant is inserted.
Continuing to close the pectoral muscle´s fibrosis capsule with the superficial fascia of the chest wall. There is no need to perform a capsulotomy.
Sometimes we create a pocket under the breast tissue, over the fascia muscle.
The nipple-areola complex is repositioned 1-2 cm above the original place in order to live it higher. When needed, we suture the nipple-areola complex at the central or side level with Monocryl 3-0.
At least, the skin is closed with Histoacryl glow [1-3].
Aftercare
The use of post-surgical bra for 30 days is recommended, also back sleeping, general care of mammoplasty and avoiding any type of strength effort (Figures).
The proposed technique allows breast reduction with smaller implants without increasing the number and size of scars, which is very pleasant for the patients, and requires less recovery time.
It also allows to relocate the crease of the breast and maintain the implant and tissue in the right position.
