Asian Outcomes of Primary Breast Augmentation

Winners Clinic162 enrolled

Overview

In 162 Asian patients, primary breast augmentations were performed by a single surgeon during 5 years. The purpose of this study evaluates Asian outcomes in primary breast augmentation using single antibiotic breast irrigation by a single surgeon's practice and examines the comparison of Asian and Western outcomes in primary breast augmentation.

A retrospective chart review was performed to examine a total of 162 patients received the same brand of implants for primary breast augmentation under sedative anesthesia (propofol infusion) in a single surgeon's practice. Asian patients' demographics, preoperative and postoperative measurements, surgical technique (single antibiotic breast irrigation), implant type, size, texture, soft tissue coverage, implant placement, incision approach, complications, and incidence of reoperation were documented.

Interventions

primary breast augmentationPROCEDURE

With the patient under sedative anesthesia, wide preparation and draping by using povidone-iodine are performed with using talc-free gloves and povidone-iodine gauze nipple shields. Tumescent solution is infiltrated in the precise plane. Pockets are developed precisely with blunt dissection with fingers and instruments under both direct and indirect visions simultaneously, if needed, with using endoscopy, while careful hemostasis done. After dissection, two pockets are irrigated with 300ml of single antibiotic solution without active evacuation of the irrigation. When re-draping and re-preparation by using povidone-iodine are performed before implant insertion, a new pair of talc-free gloves is used and cleansed with the single antibiotic solution.
