The “no touch technique” is an advanced surgical technique designed to lower the risk of capsular contracture (a rare complication where the breast implants develop a hard shell of scar tissue). Research has shown that avoiding direct contact between skin and implant significantly lowers risks.
By using a funnel-like device, your surgeon can insert your implant without it ever touching the skin. Once the implant pocket has been created within the breasts, your surgeon will place the implant into the funnel so that it can be delivered into the pocket.
Aside from the benefits of no skin-to-implant contact, this method offers a far gentler delivery with minimized pressure on the surrounding skin. This makes for faster, more efficient healing as well.
