Preservation breast augmentation at JW Hospital: safe, painless, and fast recovery
What is Preservation Breast Augmentation?
Preservation breast augmentation (Preservé) is a new-generation, minimally invasive breast augmentation method developed under the philosophy of preserving natural breast tissue, minimizing aggressive dissection and reducing trauma to the inherent anatomical structures of the breast.
Preservation breast augmentation preserves natural tissue, limits dissection, and minimizes trauma to mammary glands
Unlike traditional breast augmentation techniques that may require extensive pocket dissection, glandular preservation breast augmentation requires only a small incision, combining specialized instruments with pneumatic inflation to create an implant pocket inside the breast cavity. The goal is to place the implant in the precise position while maximally preserving mammary gland tissue, supporting ligaments, natural sensation, and long-term stability of the breast.
Preservation breast augmentation delivers a long-lasting natural feel
At Bệnh viện JW, this technique is indicated for clients seeking breast enhancement that is natural – safe – minimally invasive – faster healing, perfectly aligning with modern aesthetic trends.
Benefits of Glandular Preservation Breast Augmentation at JW
The greatest distinction of this innovative breast enhancement technology lies in its modern surgical philosophy: it does not simply insert an implant, but actively preserves the natural anatomical structure of the breast.
In conventional breast augmentation, surgeons typically create the implant pocket through blunt tissue dissection. If not performed precisely or if dissection is overly extensive, clients may experience significant swelling, prolonged pain, extended downtime, persistent tension, or a risk of altered breast sensation.
For these reasons, preservation breast augmentation technology was pioneered with numerous outstanding advantages:
- Minimizes deep surgical intervention and damage to natural mammary gland tissue.
- Better preserves sensation across the breast and nipple-areola complex.
- Provides superior implant stability within the dissected pocket.
- Minimizes direct contact with the implant via a safe, sterile, no-touch insertion technique.
- No general anesthesia required; performed comfortably under local anesthesia or light conscious sedation.
- Ultra-short incision of only 2.5 cm, discreetly concealed along the inframammary fold.
- Ensures a much gentler recovery compared to highly invasive traditional procedures.
- Patients can ambulate immediately after surgery and return home the same day.
This is why the technique is recognized as a major advancement in modern aesthetic breast surgery: achieving superior aesthetics while honoring and protecting the body’s natural anatomy.

3-Step Glandular Preservation Breast Augmentation Procedure
3-step glandular preservation breast augmentation procedure at JW Hospital
The next-generation preservation breast augmentation technique follows the principles of minimal broad dissection – gentle pocket expansion – micro-incision delivery. Instead of traumatic disruption of glandular tissue, the surgeon utilizes a specialized instrument system to access, expand, and position the implant in a fully controlled manner.
Comprising 3 primary steps:
1. Accessing the breast pocket with specialized dissection instruments
In the first step, the surgeon employs a dedicated dissection kit to establish a small tunnel measuring only approximately 2.5 cm. This instrument enables gentle access to the internal pocket while avoiding extensive blunt dissection. Consequently, the mammary glands, soft tissues, and anatomical breast architecture are exceptionally well preserved.
- Creates a minimal, precise access path.
- Minimizes trauma to adjacent tissues.
- Reduces intraoperative bleeding.
- Preserves the natural architecture of the breast.
Specialized tissue dissection instruments minimize bleeding and protect the breast’s natural structures
2. Creating the breast pocket using an inflatable dilation balloon
The surgeon introduces a small medical balloon into the breast area through the micro-incision. The balloon is then gradually inflated to atraumatically expand the pocket to the exact dimensions of the selected implant, minimizing sizing discrepancies and maximizing tissue preservation.
- Creates the implant pocket gently.
- Enables controlled tissue expansion.
- Minimizes damage to mammary gland tissue.
- Accurately calibrates pocket volume to match the implant.

3. Inserting the Ergonomix 2 implant with the Keller Funnel no-touch device
Once the pocket is prepared, the surgeon inserts the Ergonomix 2 implant using a insertion funnel, gently squeezing the device to guide the implant smoothly into the cavity without direct manual touch.
