Our specialists
Scarless breast surgery is offered with the help of vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB). It is an advanced minimally invasive technique that allows the surgeon to access breast abnormalities through small incisions leaving behind no scars. Scarless breast surgery can help treat both benign and malignant breast diseases.
VABB is a dynamic scarless breast intervention. It can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Common indications for this surgery include:
- Non-cancerous breast lump
- Multiple non-cancerous breast lumps
- Recurrent fibroadenomas
- Persistent spots on the breasts that cause pain
Scarless breast surgery with VABB is a minimally invasive procedure. It can be performed through the help of these three measures:
- Under the guidance of a mammogram
- Under the guidance of ultrasound
- Under the guidance of MRI
The above-given imaging techniques allow surgeons to view real-time images of your breasts. After locating the site of abnormalities, your surgeon will use the vacuum-assistance to draw breast tissues for either further diagnosis or as a treatment protocol. After the tissues are drawn out, the surgeon continues to sterilise the area.
There are numerous benefits of scarless breast surgery with VABB as compared to open biopsy. These include:
- Single and minimal invasion (<3 mm)
- No need for stitches
- Fast recovery
- Minimum discomfort
- No scarring
- Higher levels of precision
- Complete removal of benign lumps
- Lesser chances of repeat biopsy
