For Satisfying Results from Breast Axillary Revision Surgery

Breast augmentation is one of the cosmetic procedures chosen most often by women. Many people want a smooth and natural-looking breast line, and for this purpose they often consider implant insertion, fat grafting, and more.

However, after breast augmentation surgery, the desired results may not be achieved, or problems may arise over time. In such cases, breast axillary revision surgery may be necessary. In this blog, we will take a detailed look at breast axillary incision revision surgery and the triple-plane method.

Improvement through revision surgery for capsular contracture via an axillary incision

In the case of capsular contracture, after an implant is inserted, the fibrous tissue surrounding the implant hardens excessively, causing the implant’s shape or position to change. Once implanted in the body, an implant is naturally surrounded by a fibrous tissue called a capsule. This capsule protects the implant and helps keep it stable, but sometimes it becomes excessively thick or firm, which can cause changes in breast shape and pain.

Capsular contracture usually occurs when the fibrous capsule contracts, which can cause the breast to become firm, become asymmetrical, or deform. In some cases, it may also be accompanied by pain. However, if these capsular contracture symptoms appear, they can be improved through breast axillary revision surgery.

Why is an axillary incision possible?

During breast augmentation, surgery can be performed through an axillary incision. The characteristic of an axillary incision is that it does not make a direct incision on the breast area, which helps avoid visible scars. However, various problems that can occur after implant insertion may make breast axillary revision surgery necessary.

In breast augmentation, an axillary incision usually involves inserting the implant under the breast through the armpit area. The reason for using an axillary incision is generally to avoid leaving scars on the breast. If scars remain after surgery or there is concern that the results may be undesired for various reasons, the surgeon’s skill is especially important in axillary incision breast revision surgery.

Triple-plane method that can reduce side effects

Even after the first surgery, revision surgery may be needed for various reasons. For example, the implant position may be asymmetrical, the size or type of implant may not be suitable, or the implant may protrude or shift. Also, as mentioned above, over time, issues such as capsular contracture may lead to consideration of breast axillary revision surgery.

At this point, the triple-plane method plays an important role in revising the shape and feel of the breast more naturally during revision surgery. The triple-plane method is a technique that precisely adjusts the implant placement position, making it possible to create a more natural and balanced breast shape and even help prevent side effects such as animation deformity that can occur with the dual-plane method.

Various advantages of the triple-plane method

The triple-plane method uses these three planes to optimize the implant position and help improve the breast shape in a natural and balanced way. In particular, in breast axillary revision surgery, when the implant has shifted or capsular contracture has occurred, this method helps determine the implant’s precise position.

In addition, because the implant is secured across multiple planes, it can help prevent problems such as movement or positional changes of the implant, thereby reducing breast distortion and asymmetry. Moreover, the triple-plane method helps keep the implant stably fixed in the correct position, allowing for a natural and smooth breast line.

Breast axillary revision surgery is an important process for resolving problems that occurred in the first surgery and achieving a more natural and satisfying result. Systematic consultation and diagnosis are needed before surgery, and appropriate care should also be provided after revision surgery.

If you are considering breast revision surgery, we hope you choose the surgical method that suits you and achieve satisfying results through consultation with a skilled medical team.
