Summary

This article discusses the use of a transareolar incision in breast augmentation surgery. The transareolar approach involves making an incision along the natural border of the areola to implant silicone prostheses. This method is suggested to provide better aesthetic results and reduce visible scarring compared to traditional techniques. The incision allows for adequate tissue undermining and good hemostasis during the procedure. Early manipulation of the implant is proposed to decrease the formation of a capsule around the implant. The absence of an inframammary scar is suggested to improve tissue healing and patient satisfaction. The study concludes that the transareolar incision may be a viable alternative to traditional methods in augmentation mammaplasty.
