The Scarless Breast Augmentation is now even better with Keller Funnel!

The Keller Funnel ™ has truly revolutionized the placement of silicone breast implants.

As a surgeon certified in its use, Dr. Diehl has been using this method exclusively to place his silicone breast implants from the underarm when performing his scarless breast augmentation.

The funnel works like piping bag which squeezes the silicone breast implant out and into the patient.  Its special attribute is its super-strong material which does not tear, and the patented inner coating which slides the implant out with ease.  It may sound simple, but consider that silicone breast implants have been in use around the world since 1962, and took until 2009 to develop this technology.

The funnel is a critical tool to use for implant placement because it squeezes the implant out of its narrow end and into the patient with a much smaller incision than the traditional method of pushing the implant into the patient manually. 

And a smaller incision is always important to the patient, especially when the implant is placed from the underarm as Dr. Diehl performs during his scarless breast augmentation.  This small incision in the underarm becomes virtually invisible, because it is placed exactly on the natural crease that is already there under the arm.

Because after all, why show an incision if you don’t have to?

Breast Augmentation without scars- is it possible?

Is it possible to have a breast augmentation without any scars on the breasts?

The answer is "Yes".

The technique called "Scarless" Breast Augmentation where breast implants are placed by using an endoscope through the armpit.  This technique is preferable over the incisions around the nipples or under the breasts as there are no visible scars on the breasts themselves.  With the “scarless” breast augmentation the incision is placed in a crease in the armpit.  In most cases the scars are hardly visible.

What is the recovery for Breast Augmentation?

Most of my patients want to know about their recovery.

While it is nice to try get back to your normal activities as soon as possible, it is also nice to treat yourself to a few days off to recover more comfortably.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and you should not necessarily rush your recovery process.

Breast Augmentation is a safe procedure with a fairly simple recovery.  Dr. Diehl’s patients go home approximately one hour after surgery, and can go back to their simple routine later that night.  There is some discomfort after breast augmentation surgery, and patients go home with pain medicine.  Dr. Diehl’s patients usually rest at home for the weekend and are back to work Monday morning.  You can expect to resume mild exercise in 10 days.    

Here is an approximate timeline of the Breast Augmentation recovery process:

Day of surgery:  Rest is recommended with an hourly walk around the house to keep the circulation moving.

Day after surgery:  Your breasts feel much better, and you can begin to get back to normal routines around the house.   

 
First week:  There is swelling and soreness in your breasts, so movements of the upper body should be limited.  If your job does not require lifting, then you can be back at work.

Week two:  The swelling is still present but should begin to diminish.  The tightness of the swelling has gone down and your breasts feel much more natural. 

 

Week three:  The shape of your breasts should look more natural and are “bikini ready”.  Light running may resume.  Lower body and core gym activities may resume.

Week four:  You breast implants have settled in.  Regular gym activities may resume.
