Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Breast augmentation is a prevalent procedure in plastic surgery. In this article we present the Aqua Breast Technique (ABA), an approach aimed at enhancing patient satisfaction and reducing downtime. This technique leverages tumescent anesthesia and a small incision in the inframammary fold, avoiding electrocautery and surgical drains, to fulfill the growing demand for painless procedures with minimal recovery periods.
METHODS: The study retrospectively analyzed 238 patients who underwent breast augmentation using the ABA technique at Instituto Rubi between 2021 and 2024. The ABA protocol involves detailed preoperative design, local anesthesia, a precise 3-centimeter incision, careful dissection, and specific postoperative care, emphasizing hydrodissection for tissue separation and the use of smooth round silicone implants through a Keller funnel.
RESULTS: The application of the ABA technique to 238 patients, with a mean follow-up time 14 months. Ten patients required surgical intervention due to complications. Hematoma and infection rates were 0.42%, while capsulectomies were required in 2.1% of cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Aqua Breast Augmentation technique has been successfully applied as a hydrodissection-based breast augmentation technique method, with low complication rates, short downtime, and reduced postoperative pain. Level V, therapeutic study.

摘要：
背景：隆胸是整形外科中的一种普遍方法。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了Aqua乳房技术(ABA)，一种旨在提高患者满意度和减少停机时间的方法。该技术利用肿胀麻醉和乳房下褶皱的小切口，避免电灼术和手术引流,以满足日益增长的无痛手术需求，缩短恢复期。
方法：该研究回顾性分析了在2021年至2024年间在Rubi研究所使用ABA技术进行隆胸的238例患者。ABA协议涉及详细的术前设计，局部麻醉,精确的3厘米切口,仔细解剖,和特殊的术后护理，强调通过Keller漏斗进行组织分离和使用光滑的圆形硅胶植入物。
结果：ABA技术应用于238例患者，平均随访时间为14个月。10例患者因并发症需要手术干预。血肿和感染率分别为0.42%,而2.1％的病例需要进行囊袋切除术。
结论：Aqua隆胸技术已成功应用于基于水解剖的隆胸技术方法，并发症发生率低，短暂的停机时间，减少术后疼痛。V级,治疗性研究。
方法：本期刊要求作者为每篇文章分配一定程度的证据。对于这些循证医学评级的完整描述，请参阅目录或在线作者说明www。springer.com/00266.
