The other two approaches were developed primarily to minimize visible scarring. However, studies show that both the periareolar and transaxillary approaches carry a higher microbial load compared to the inframammary fold, which statistically increases the risk of capsular contracture.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the <strong>transaxillary approach<\/strong> is typically performed with endoscopic assistance, which increases both the duration and cost of surgery. This method only allows placement of the implant fully beneath the pectoralis major muscle and is usually feasible only with smaller silicone implants.<\/p>\n<p>As for the <strong>periareolar approach<\/strong>, it allows implant placement either above or below the muscle\u2014but not in the dual-plane position. Its main drawback is that it requires extensive undermining of tissue from the nipple down to the inframammary fold. This can create relative tissue instability, which over time may lead to implant malposition (\u201cbottoming out\u201d), overly superficial implant placement (resulting in a firm feel in the lower pole), or visible\/ palpable rippling.<\/p>\n<p><em>*We use specialized measurement algorithms in every case to ensure a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing outcome.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ea3198 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4ea3198\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7562095 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7562095\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Rectangle-158-768x531-1.png.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24200\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Rectangle-158-768x531-1.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Rectangle-158-768x531-1.png-300x207.webp 300w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Rectangle-158-768x531-1.png-600x415.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26ecbe3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26ecbe3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Do We Choose the Right Implant for Successful Breast Augmentation?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a60ce5 e-con-full e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7a60ce5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73c5e85 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73c5e85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A critical factor in the success of the procedure is the <strong>selection of the appropriate implant<\/strong>.

In rare cases, it may be performed using local anesthesia combined with sedation. <strong>A special supportive surgical bra is placed immediately after surgery<\/strong>, allowing patients to resume light daily activities right away\u2014avoiding only sudden or large arm movements and heavy lifting.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Following breast augmentation, there are no drains, and no suture removal is needed. <strong>Pain during the first 1\u20132 days is minimal<\/strong> because long-acting local anesthetic is infiltrated into the surgical areas during the procedure, numbing the tissues. Thereafter, <strong>discomfort is very mild<\/strong>\u2014similar to a dull ache or tightness\u2014and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Regarding pain, our experience shows it tends to be more noticeable when larger silicone implants are used or when the breast tissue is naturally very tight. <strong>Exercise can be resumed 6 weeks after surgery<\/strong>, and specific chest muscle training (e.g., pectoral workouts) is not recommended for the first 6 months.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The scar beneath the breast is hidden precisely within the inframammary fold and typically becomes virtually invisible after about 6 months.
