Breast implants have the advantage of eliminating an apparent lack of volume for the individual concerned. However, they can also result in scars that are just as difficult to accept after the operation. The Juliet Laser treatment may help to diminish them, thus enhancing the beauty of your breasts.
Breast Implant and Scars
Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures today in France. Many women succumb to the temptation to increase the volume of their breasts or reshape them. This procedure can leave post-operative scars. An incision mark is inevitable in order to place the implant.
There are several types of scars depending on the method chosen with the doctor. The periareolar scar, performed around the areola, is generally the least visible. This allows for precise placement of the implant. The axillary scar is less commonly used today as scars tend to be thicker and more swollen. 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 inframammary fold. This allows the implant to be placed in the breast fold, leaving a scar that is only visible when the patient is lying on her back. When standing, the scar is concealed beneath the breast.
Several methods exist to care for scars shortly after the operation to improve their condition, such as: avoiding excessive sun exposure, wearing a bra for some time, applying a prescribed cream, avoiding tobacco and alcohol while maintaining a balanced diet. If the scar causes you significant distress, aesthetic treatments may be able to further conceal it.
Why Choose the Juliet Laser Treatment?
Scars should be treated with varying intensities. 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 a deeper treatment is planned, the doctor will prescribe a healing cream.
The Juliet Laser creates micro-coagulation wells using the principle of photothermolysis, which consists of rapidly heating a specific target, such as fibroblasts, while limiting the warming of the dermis. This technique allows for deep action and limits thermal diffusion. A phenomenon of skin cell stimulation will facilitate rapid recovery of the skin, greatly reducing social avoidance. Several passes will be completed on the affected area, creating multiple impacts in the dermis. In response, the skin will naturally regenerate by healing at these points and will appear tighter.
Consult thoroughly with your doctor to determine which incision method to adopt for your procedure and to anticipate the healing process.
