CONTACT NOW Answer: Electrocautery dissection reduces trauma and pain Blunt dissection involves using the finger to sweep around and open up the pocket where the implant is to be placed. Electrocautery dissection is more precise, involving cauterization of the blood vessels in the area to reduce trauma and potential for blood loss. Referred to as bloodless breast augmentation, it also leads to faster recovery times.

Answer: Electrocautery dissection and blunt dissection for Breast Implants Great technique question, more like a first year plastic surgery resident type question. As seen in these previous postings the electro cautery dissection is far above any blunt finger or instrument dissection. The recovery, degree of swelling, amount of black and blue (ecchymosis), potential hematoma are much less with the cautery. When we see post augmentation patient I almost can guess the surgeon if from my area who uses blunt dissection. Thanks for a great question.

Answer: Electrocautery versus blunt dissection for breast augmentation with implants This varies tremendously with each surgeon and with each approach. For example probably 90% of TUBA procedures are done primarily with blunt dissection. Whereas the breast crease approach can be accomplished via a variety of techniques. Electrocautery can also be delivered using bipolar forceps which is a more direct and locatlized application of the energy.

Answer: Another vote for cautery rather than blunt dissection for breast augmentation Blunt dissection, by definition, involves ripping the tissues apart blindly while cautery dissection is done under direct vision with precision. Since it also controls bleeding there is less bruising. All of this means faster recovery with less discomfort, though I remain skeptical about the "24 hour return to normal activities" that some claim.
