Tissue-Preserving Breast Augmentation (TPBA) is a novel concept designed to enhance breast and implant stability by preserving the breast's stabilization system, including the circummammary ligament and Cooper's suspensory ligaments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study presents the TPBA approach, performed in a minimally invasive manner to minimize surgical stimuli and protect the parenchymal breast tissue, along with outcomes observed over a 3-year period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This 2-center, multi-surgeon retrospective observational study included consecutive female patients undergoing primary breast augmentation or primary augmentation\u2013mastopexy using TPBA between December 2022 and June 2025. All procedures involved an inframammary incision and creation of a prepectoral pocket through balloon expansion. Complications were assessed by monitoring cumulative incidence during follow-up visits at 2 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 330 procedures were performed. At a mean follow-up of 18 months, the complication rate was 0.9%. No cases of acute complications, including seroma, wound breakdown, or infection, were observed. Follow-up evaluations revealed no capsular contracture (Grades III and IV), implant rupture, lateralization, or inferior malposition. Superior malposition occurred in 2 patients (0.6%), and bleeding was observed in 1 patient (0.3%). Implant rippling was reported by 3 patients (0.9%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TPBA offers a standardized, reproducible approach to breast enhancement through the inframammary fold, performed under general or local anesthesia.
