The method known as the minimal touch technique is a modern surgical technique in the field of breast augmentation. Unlike in the past, the tissue is handled much more gently and less traumatising than with breast augmentation using silicone implants. The background of this modern surgical procedure is the reduction of complications, but also of pain after the operation. In addition, the minimal touch technique can also reduce long-term complications, such as capsular fibrosis. This not only reduces contact with the inserted silicone implant and the surgeon’s hand, as was previously the case.

Up to now, the pectoral muscle has sometimes been very roughly dilated by the simple process of inserting the hand. With the minimal touch technique, preparation is precise, clean and uses appropriate instruments. This means that the entire pocket is prepared without direct contact with the surgeon’s hand, i.e. exclusively by the inserted instruments. This offers the big advantage of reducing contamination and impurities that could potentially occur through direct contact with the surgeon’s glove. Compressors, abdominal cloths or other materials that could in principle lead to the formation of lint are not used in this process. These materials are considered by experts to be a possible source of contamination and are therefore always avoided on our part.
