Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed worldwide. Thanks to

advancements in technology and surgical technique, patients now have access to procedures that are not only more

precise but also more aesthetically refined. Among these modern options is scarless breast augmentation—a

technique that prioritizes discreet incisions and minimal visible scarring. At Ocean Plastic Surgery Center, we

specialize in this advanced approach, offering patients stunning results without visible marks on the breasts.

Scarless breast augmentation refers to a method of placing breast implants without making incisions directly on or

around the breast itself. Instead, the implants are inserted through hidden access points such as the armpit or the

belly button. The transaxillary approach utilizes a small incision in the natural fold of the armpit, while the

transumbilical method, also known as TUBA, involves guiding the implant through an incision made inside thenavel. Both methods offer the same long-term results as traditional breast augmentation but with the added benefit of

no visible scarring on the chest.

This procedure is ideal for women who desire a natural look without any obvious signs of surgical enhancement.

Suitable candidates typically include individuals with good skin elasticity, a healthy body weight, and no major

medical conditions that could impair healing. During a private consultation at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center, Dr.

Raman Mehrzad evaluates each patient’s anatomy and goals to determine whether the scarless technique is

appropriate.

The procedure begins with the administration of general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort. Once the patient is

sedated, a small, carefully measured incision is made—either under the arm or in the belly button, depending on the

chosen technique. From this access point, a specialized tunnel is created to guide the implant to the breast pocket.

The implant is then positioned either above or below the pectoral muscle based on the desired aesthetic outcome and

the patient’s individual anatomy. Once placement is confirmed, the incision is closed with precision to encourage

discreet, nearly invisible healing.

Ocean Plastic Surgery Center offers a range of implant types, including saline, silicone gel, and form-stable “gummy

bear” implants. Each option has distinct characteristics, and the choice depends on a variety of factors such as feel,

longevity, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Mehrzad will guide you through the selection process

to ensure you choose the implant that best suits your body and preferences.

The benefits of scarless breast augmentation go beyond aesthetic appeal. By avoiding direct incisions on the breast,

the risk of visible scars is significantly reduced, which enhances patient confidence—particularly in swimwear and

fitted clothing. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure also allows for faster healing and less tissue trauma.

Because the breast skin and nipple area are not disrupted, patients often report a more natural post-operative

appearance and sensation.

Recovery from scarless breast augmentation is typically smooth and manageable. Most patients can return to light

activity within three to five days. Full recovery, including resuming strenuous activities and exercise, generally

occurs within four to six weeks. Post-operative care involves wearing a surgical support bra, avoiding upper body

strain, and attending follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing. The Ocean Plastic Surgery Center team provides

comprehensive instructions and support throughout your recovery process.

Breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, and most patients enjoy their results for a decade or more. While

implants are not considered lifetime devices, they can last up to 15 years or longer with proper care and regular

monitoring. Periodic consultations with your plastic surgeon are recommended to assess implant integrity and

overall breast health.
