Restoring a woman’s self-esteem and physical attractiveness following a mastectomy requires breast reconstruction. It has the potential to completely alter one’s state of mind and body. Prepectoral breast reconstruction is one of several alternatives for breast restoration. There are clear benefits to this procedure over more conventional methods, which include putting the implant above the pectoral muscle. The groundbreaking ON TOP® Technique developed by Dr. Marshall Partington takes this concept a step further, yielding remarkable outcomes for patients.

Let’s explore prepectoral breast reconstruction and the ON TOP® Technique. The benefits of these advancements in breast reconstruction surgery will be described.

What is Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction?

The breast implant is positioned just beneath the breast tissue, above the pectoral muscle, in a prepectoral breast reconstruction procedure. As an alternative to implant placement beneath the chest muscle, which is the standard procedure for submuscular breast reconstruction, this technique offers a different approach. In prepectoral breast reconstruction, the implant is placed above the chest muscle. This causes less damage to the muscle. As a result, the timeline for prepectoral breast reconstruction recovery is typically shorter.

This muscle-sparing method can create a more natural-looking breast shape. It is often better than the common submuscular implant method. The submuscular method can cause muscle pain and discomfort. Prepectoral reconstruction heals faster and causes less pain after surgery. These benefits have made it more popular. One of the benefits of prepectoral breast reconstruction is its limited influence on the chest muscles.

Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction Results

The prepectoral breast reconstruction results are often highly satisfying. Many people like the natural look and feel of the breast after the treatment. The implant is placed underneath the skin and breast tissue. This makes the breast look softer and more natural. The method also keeps the natural shape of the breast. It gives a younger look without damaging the chest muscles.

One of the best things about prepectoral breast restoration results is that they keep the chest muscle. Because the muscle is not cut or moved during the process, the body does not go through the trauma that is common with submuscular implants. This makes the healing process easier and makes the breast look more realistic. Also, prepectoral breast reconstruction can help patients who are just having one breast reconstructed (unilateral reconstruction) by making their breasts more symmetrical.

Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction Recovery

One of the best things about prepectoral breast restoration is how quickly you may get well. Patients may have to take weeks off from work or regular activities because traditional breast restoration methods that entail moving muscles can cause longer downtime. But the recuperation time is usually substantially shorter with prepectoral breast restoration.

Patients usually feel less pain and discomfort after surgery since the chest muscles are not affected. Most people can go back to their usual lives a few days to a week after the treatment. This is a big plus for ladies who wish to get back to their normal lives fast. In general, healing from prepectoral breast reconstruction is easier. It also has fewer restrictions than recovery from procedures that involve the muscle.

Clients can return to their normal lives sooner. This is because healing is faster and there is less discomfort. There are also fewer complications overall when the surrounding tissues are not under as much stress. This speeds up the healing process after prepectoral breast reconstruction. Because of this, the recovery time is reduced in uncertainty and made more bearable.

Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction Before and After

Patients are often amazed by the prepectoral breast reconstruction before and after transformation. Many patients experience a sense of missing something before surgery. They may also feel their bodies are not balanced after a mastectomy. After prepectoral breast reconstruction, most patients see a big change. Their breasts look better in shape, size, and overall appearance.

You can often see a more natural breast form and smoother contour in the before and after photographs of prepectoral breast restoration. The Motiva Implants are put in a way that makes the overall look better. They make the breasts look soft and young without the hard edges or lines that might happen with submuscular implants.

The results of prepectoral breast reconstruction before and after can be different for each person, but most patients are happy with the results: their breasts look and feel natural again.

Benefits of Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction

There are numerous benefits of this technique. Let’s explore some of the most significant advantages:

Quicker Recovery

Prepectoral breast reconstruction recovery is often quicker than traditional methods. This is because the chest muscle is not cut or moved. Most patients feel only mild pain after the surgery. They can return to their usual activities sooner than with standard methods. Patients return to their usual lives more rapidly because there is no prolonged rest period or muscle soreness.

Fewer Pain and Discomfort Issues

The prepectoral breast reconstruction approach is less painful than older methods that cut through muscle. Patients usually have less pain and soreness after surgery since the muscle is not disrupted. This makes it much easier to get better since the body can repair without having to deal with the stress of muscular recovery.

More Natural-Looking Results

Putting the implant above the muscle makes the result look more natural, especially for ladies with enough breast tissue. Prepectoral breast reconstruction gives the breast a softer and more natural shape. The breast tissue and skin are directly beneath the implant. The breasts appear younger and more beautiful as a result. The method keeps the natural form of the breast. This helps the breasts look natural and balanced.

Lower Chance of Adverse Effects

This muscle-sparing method has less risk of problems like muscle loss or animation deformity. This is because the muscle is not cut. With traditional subpectoral implant placement, the implant may move or change shape when the muscle moves. This can look unnatural. Motiva Implants that are prepectoral remain stationary and do not move with the muscle. This produces consistent and dependable outcomes.

Minimal Scarring

The cuts used during this muscle-sparing method are usually smaller and less invasive than the cuts done during standard implant based breast reconstruction. There is normally very little scarring because the muscle doesn’t need to be moved. The cuts are often made discreetly around the areola or in the fold of the breast. This makes the scars less noticeable and the result more pleasant to the eye.

Dr. Partington’s ON TOP® Technique

Dr. Partington’s ON TOP® Technique is an innovative refinement of the prepectoral breast reconstruction method. This technique positions the breast implant above the muscle, just like traditional prepectoral reconstruction, but with the added benefit of precise prepectoral implant placement to achieve the most natural look possible.
