Is there such a thing as Band Aid Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation has long been one of the top requested plastic surgery procedures within the U.S. Additionally, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures like the mini facelift or Band Aid Facelift continue to remain popular for their reduced recovery time and approachable price point. It’s important; however, to be wary of any cosmetic procedure marketed as “minimally invasive” that seems too good to be true.
All of my Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures like Band Aid Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), Band Aid Liposuction, and Band Aid Tummy Tuck are designed to address isolated, small areas of cosmetic concern. Because their purpose is so specific, and the treatment areas are relatively contained, they can be performed in-office using gentle numbing (local anesthetic). This is not the case with breast augmentation, in my opinion. Breast surgery involves a treatment area that is dense with nerves and thicker layers of muscle and tissue to navigate.
Though some plastic surgeons may offer a minimally invasive type of breast augmentation, it is not something that I feel is in any patient’s best interest given the possibility of breast surgery complications if the proper safety precautions aren’t followed. I only perform breast surgery like breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift in a hospital with the assistance of a qualified anesthesiologist and surgical team.
Despite the appeal and convenience the latest and greatest plastic surgery techniques may seem to offer, it’s vital that patients research their prospective surgeon as well as the specific surgical technique to ensure it’s been deemed safe by medical governing bodies. Even though this research may seem superfluous, in-depth patient education is an important part of enhancing satisfaction with your plastic surgery results as well as minimizing the need for secondary procedures like breast revision surgery to correct previous surgical results.
