Experience Using the Funnel Insertion Method Lubricated With Hyaluronic Acid for Breast Implantation
Funnel insertion with hyaluronic acid reduced scar size, insertion time, and complication risk compared with manual insertion, while achieving high and comparable satisfaction. This technique offers a safe "no-touch" alternative that may lower contamination and capsular contracture risk. Prospective studies are needed to validate long-term efficacy and to compare hyaluronic acid with antiseptic additives.
