The Insertion Sleeve Breast
Augmentation technique
Is an advanced and innovative method for breast augmentation. It involves the use of a specialized device to improve the insertion process of breast implants, while minimizing contact with the surrounding tissues. This soft, sterile, and flexible cone-shaped funnel enhances the surgical procedure by increasing accuracy and minimizing potential hazards.The Insertion Sleeve Breast Augmentation technique aims to streamline the process of inserting breast implants and enhance the final results.
How the Insertion Sleeve Breast Augmentation Technique Works?
Before surgery, the doctor will start by making an incision and creating a pocket inside the body to place the implant. The implant is then inserted through the wound.
• With traditional insertion: The implant may be folded or slightly compressed when being inserted into the pocket, but this is rarely noticeable because the implant naturally expands once inside. However, if over-folding occurs, it may affect the implant’s roundness, making the breast appear less smooth.
• With funnel (Insertion Sleeve) insertion: The implant does not need to be compressed or folded during insertion. The technique is more delicate and precise, resulting in a significantly smoother outcome.
• For textured implants: Using the funnel helps prevent the skin from touching the implant surface, reducing the chance of debris sticking to the implant and lowering the risk of certain long-term complications. Careful technique and proper handling are still required to maintain implant quality.
After insertion, the doctor places the implant into the prepared pocket, and once it has fully expanded and settled into the desired position, the doctor will adjust it until it is perfectly symmetrical. The wound is then closed. Because the implant does not touch the skin during funnel insertion, the risk of contamination is greatly reduced, allowing the implant to remain in its ideal shape and position.
Benefits of the Insertion Sleeve Breast Augmentation Technique
1. Allows a smaller incision to be made.
2. Reduces infection risk because the implant does not directly touch the surgeon’s hands or the patient’s skin. The implant passes through the funnel only once, which decreases contamination. This is one of the main reasons the technique is widely used and helps reduce complications related to implant contamination.
3. Reduces implant damage, as the implant does not endure strong friction during insertion.
4. Reduces postoperative bleeding and bruising.
5. Faster healing and recovery due to the smaller incision and minimal trauma, resulting in less swelling and bruising and reducing inflammation around the wound.
6. Shortens operative time, helping decrease bleeding and swelling. Because the funnel reduces friction during insertion, it limits trauma to the surrounding tissues, which helps speed up overall healing.
7. Decreases the chance of implant contamination, as the implant is inserted without direct skin contact, lowering the risk of long-term complications associated with bacterial contamination
