What Is a Scar Less Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a popular plastic surgery procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts. Dr. Vitolo’s innovative Scar Less technique involves inserting saline implants via a small incision in the navel, meaning you’ll have no visible scarring on the breasts. For women who desire silicone implants, we also perform traditional breast augmentation.

Ideal Candidates for Scar Less Breast Augmentation

Ideal candidates for Scar Less breast augmentation typically include women who:

• Have lost volume and wish to have rejuvenation of the breasts

Scar Less Breast Augmentation Before & Afters

After a scar less breast augmentation, patients immediately notice an enhancement in breast size and shape. The full results, including settling of the implants, become more apparent over several weeks as the swelling subsides.

What to Expect from Your Scar Less Breast Augmentation

Your journey with Scar Less breast augmentation at Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery starts with a personalized consultation. At this meeting, Dr. Vitolo will discuss your breast enhancement goals and evaluate your suitability for the procedure. You’ll learn about the unique aspects of the Scar Less approach, and Dr. Vitolo will answer any questions to ensure you’re fully informed and comfortable with the process.

Procedure

On the day of your Scar Less breast augmentation, you’ll be the only patient at our facility, ensuring all your needs are taken care of by our experienced medical team. After you’re placed under general anesthesia, Dr. Vitolo will perform the augmentation through a small incision in the navel. The empty saline implants are carefully placed in the desired position, then filled to achieve your desired size and shape. This innovative technique is less invasive, allowing for a quicker procedure and recovery.

Recovery and follow-ups

Post-procedure, you can expect soreness and swelling, but recovery from Scar Less breast augmentation is generally smoother compared to traditional methods. Dr. Vitolo will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and progress. You’ll see immediate changes in your breast size and shape, with final results becoming more apparent as you heal and the implants settle.

Types of Breast Augmentation Techniques

While Dr. Vitolo specializes in his unique Scar Less technique, other traditional breast augmentation methods include:

• Inframammary Fold Incision: Involves an incision made in the fold under the breast, suitable for various types of implants and providing good control over implant placement.
• Periareolar Incision: Involves an incision around the edge of the areola, suitable for women who want to minimize visible scars on the breast.
• Transaxillary Incision: Involves an incision in the armpit, leaving no scars on the breast itself.

These techniques are chosen based on the type of implant, patient preference, and desired outcomes.

Related Treatments

At Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery in Staten Island, NY, we offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic procedures to boost your confidence and enhance your natural beauty. While breast augmentation is a popular choice for many, we also provide other services that cater to different needs and aesthetic goals:

• Breast Lift: A mastopexy raises and firms breast tissue without the use of implants. This procedure is ideal for those who are happy with their breast size but want to correct sagging caused by aging, weight loss or pregnancy.
• Breast Reconstruction: This procedure focuses on restoring the breast’s shape and look after mastectomy or injury, rather than enhancing its size as in augmentation. It’s a vital step for women looking to rebuild their physical appearance and regain confidence following breast cancer treatment.
• Breast Reduction: A breast reduction can address physical and emotional discomfort caused by overly large breasts, improving body proportion and enhancing overall wellbeing.
• Mommy Makeover: This custom set of body contouring procedures, typically involving breast surgery, a tummy tuck and liposuction, helps women restore their pre-partum bodies and confidence.
• Scar Less Rhinoplasty: Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty reshapes the nose, a different focus from breast augmentation’s enhancement of the bust. This surgery is suitable for anyone looking to improve the appearance or function of their nose.
• Scar Less Eyelid Surgery: Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess skin and fat, giving you a more rested, youthful look.

FAQs

What makes the Scar Less breast augmentation different from traditional methods?

Scar Less breast augmentation, particularly the TUBA technique, is unique because it involves inserting the breast implants through an incision in the navel. This approach significantly reduces visible scarring on the breasts, unlike traditional methods that typically involve incisions around the areola or at the bottom curve of the breast.

How long does the Scar Less breast augmentation surgery take?

The duration of a Scar Less breast augmentation procedure can vary, but it generally takes less than an hour. This timeframe can differ based on individual factors and the specifics of each case.

Is the recovery time shorter for Scar Less breast augmentation compared to traditional breast augmentation?

Yes, the recovery time for Scar Less breast augmentation is far shorter compared to traditional methods. Many of our patients return to work a day after their procedure. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a week or so to ensure proper healing. Dr. Vitolo will provide a detailed recovery plan tailored to your individual needs.
