Dr. Christophe Desouches, a cosmetic surgeon in Marseille with over 20 years of experience, specializes in proceduresbreast augmentation by implants or prostheses. Faced with the increasing demand from his patients, one of the techniques he uses is intra-areolar breast augmentation, a method that leaves small and discreet scars.
What is intra-areolar breast augmentation?
Intra-areolar breast augmentation involves an incision made inside the areola, which allows for effective scar concealment.
This technique is particularly suitable for women who want discreet improvement with natural results.
Advantages of the intra-areolar route
- Discreet scars: the incision is made in a naturally pigmented area, which helps to hide the scars as the scar generally tends to become pigmented.
- Minimal scarring: the intra-areolar route is shorter than a traditional approach, the use of a Keller Funnel type introducer allows for a shorter scar
- Approach allowing the installation of a pre-muscular, retro-facial, retromuscular or “dual plane” prosthesis
- Natural results: Dr. Desouches favors a natural approach, ensuring that breast augmentation harmoniously complements your figure.
3D simulation and breast augmentation via the intra-areolar approach
Before breast augmentation, many women hesitate about the volume, shape or projection of the implants.
Thanks to the 3D simulation, you can visualize your future result before the procedure.
This innovative tool allows you to compare several options and calmly choose the breast form that best suits your figure.
During the consultation, several high-definition photos are taken to create a three-dimensional model of your bust. Dr. Desouches then virtually adjusts the size, shape, and position of the implants to project a realistic, natural, and personalized result. You can view the outcome from different angles and refine your preferences before making any decisions.
This approach answers the main questions you may have:
- What implant volume will suit me best?
- Will my cleavage look natural?
- What is the difference between round and anatomical shapes?
- Will the result be balanced and suited to my body shape?
3D simulation provides valuable support for decision-making, reduces uncertainties and strengthens confidence before the operation.
It is included in the cost of the initial consultation, with no additional charges for the use of Quantificare 3D technology.
Breast augmentation procedure
The intra-areolar breast augmentation operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours. Dr. Desouches and his experienced team will guide you through the process, from initial consultation to post-operative recovery.
