What is a Preservation Breast Augmentation?
A preservation breast augmentation is a specialized surgical technique that focuses on maintaining the integrity of the chest’s natural tissue structure during implant placement. This method minimizes trauma by avoiding unnecessary disruption to the breast ligaments, muscles, and internal architecture.
By preserving more of your natural anatomy, the surgeon can achieve enhanced aesthetic results, better implant stability, and a more comfortable recovery. Patients often choose this technique because it supports long-term breast health while still delivering the volume and shape they desire.
Unlike traditional methods that may involve more extensive dissection, this technique often utilizes a muscle-sparing (subfascial or pre-pectoral) approach, minimizing disruption to the pectoral muscles, a key functional group for athletic women. The primary benefit for athletic women is a potentially faster recovery time and reduced risk of chronic muscle irritation or strength impairment during strenuous upper body activities like pilates, yoga, lifting, or swinging motions.
