Breast implants have the advantage of eliminating a noticeable lack of volume for the individual concerned. However, they can also lead to scars that are equally challenging to cope with post-surgery. The Juliet Laser treatment can help to diminish these scars to enhance the beauty of your chest.
Breast Implant and Scar
Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures today in France. Many women succumb to the temptation to increase their breast volume or reshape it. This intervention can leave post-operative scars. An incision mark is inevitable for placing the implant.
There are several types of scars depending on the chosen procedure with the doctor. The periareolar scar, made around the areola, is usually the least visible. This allows for precise implant placement. The axillary scar is less commonly used today as these scars tend to be thicker and raised. Nevertheless, it is preferred when the diameter of the areola is insufficient for the introduction of breast implants. Finally, the inframammary scar is performed when the incision is made in the fold under the breast. This allows for the implant to be introduced into the breast fold, leaving only a visible scar when the patient is lying on her back. When standing, the scar is invisible beneath the breast.
Several methods can be employed to care for scars shortly after the operation to improve their condition, such as: avoiding excessive sun exposure, wearing a supportive bra for a time, applying a prescribed cream, and steering clear of tobacco and alcohol while maintaining a balanced diet. If the scar causes you significant distress, aesthetic treatments can further conceal it.
Why choose the Juliet Laser treatment?
The scars need to be treated with varying degrees of intensity. Thus, the treatment may require several sessions typically spaced 1 to 2 months apart with complete sun avoidance to prevent rebound pigmentation. In almost all cases, the treatment will be painless. If the proposed treatment is more intensive, the doctor will prescribe a healing cream.
The Juliet Laser creates micro-coagulation pits using the principle of photothermolysis, which involves rapidly heating a specific target, such as fibroblasts, while minimising heating of the dermis. This technique allows for deep action and limits thermal diffusion. A stimulation of skin cells will enable a rapid recovery of the skin, significantly reducing social downtime. Several passes will be performed on the affected area, creating multiple impacts in the dermis. In reaction, the skin will naturally regenerate by healing at these points and will appear tighter.
Ensure you discuss adequately with your doctor to determine which incision method to adopt for your operation and to anticipate the healing process.
