Endoscopic Breast Augmentation

Endoscopic Breast Augmentation, also known as breast augmentation using the endoscopic technique, is a popular surgical method today due to its high accuracy and safety. By utilizing an endoscope, or a small camera, surgeons can clearly visualize the inside of the chest during the operation. This technique helps reduce risks and enhances the efficiency of the surgery, leading to natural-looking results and less post-operative pain.

What is Endoscopic Breast Augmentation?

Endoscopic Breast Surgery involves using an endoscope, a device with a camera attached to its tip, to transmit images of the inside of the chest onto a monitor. This allows the surgeon to clearly see blood vessels, muscles, and tissues within the chest. This technique enables precise dissection of the pocket for implant placement and reduces the risk of injury to surrounding tissues.

Steps in Endoscopic Breast Augmentation

  • Surgical Planning: The surgeon will assess your physique and select the most suitable silicone implant for you.
  • Endoscopic Guidance:
    • The camera allows the surgeon to see inside the chest in detail.
    • Special instruments are used to carefully create the tissue pocket for the silicone implant.
  • Silicone Implant Insertion: The silicone implant is placed in the optimal position to achieve a beautiful and natural breast shape.
  • Small Incision Closure: Special techniques are used to stitch the incisions, resulting in small scars and faster recovery.

Preparation Before Endoscopic Breast Augmentation

Prepare Your Body:

  • Exercise regularly for at least 1 month before surgery to strengthen your heart, lungs, and overall physical condition.
  • Consume a diet high in protein, such as fish, eggs, and beans, to help your body build collagen and recover quickly after surgery.

Avoid Factors that Hinder Recovery:

  • Discontinue all supplements, vitamins, herbal remedies, smoking, and alcohol consumption for at least 1 month before surgery.

Consult Your Doctor for a Health Check:

  • Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions or drug allergies, and discuss the appropriate size and type of silicone implant for you.

Silicone Implants for Endoscopic Breast Augmentation

There are several types of silicone implants used for endoscopic breast augmentation surgery, categorized by their surface texture:

  • Smooth Silicone Implants:
    • Have a smooth surface, making them easy to insert with small incisions and less swelling.
    • Require post-operative massage to reduce the risk of capsular contracture.
  • Textured Silicone Implants:
    • Have a rough surface that helps prevent implant movement.
    • Reduce the risk of capsular contracture but have become less popular due to reports of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).
  • Nano-textured Silicone Implants (Velvet Surface):
    • Have a soft surface that combines the advantages of both smooth and textured implants.
    • Do not typically require post-operative massage, reduce the risk of capsular contracture, and have a long lifespan.
