The inframammary procedure is used to enhance the breasts. The incision can be hidden in the breastcrease. It is visible only if the breasts have been lifted or uncovered. It can be concealed easily under most bikini tops. It can be used with both pre-filled and large silicone breast implants.
Incision technique
Inframammary is one of most popular breast augmentation techniques. This technique involves creating an inframammary incision and inserting the breast implant. This type of breast implant augmentation is extremely safe. It is safe to perform on women with large breast implant sizes. This is safe for breastfeeding.
Inframammary surgery is a time-saving technique that can reduce the overall length of the procedure. This procedure is performed using a stab-shaped, approximately 3 mm incision to insert a small, infiltration cannula. To elevate the pocket and promote hemostasis, 150mL of tumescent solutions are injected through the incision.
Criteria for inclusion
The inframammaryfold is a key landmark in breast surgery. It marks the inferior breast border on the chest wall, and defines ptosis. To avoid implant migration, the fold provides inferior support for subpectoral screws. A fold is essential for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Participants must be 14 years or older and have excessive inframammary shivering. Patients below 18 years old must be accompanied and signed by a legal representative. Eligible patients are women who are not pregnant or nursing. Patients are advised that participation is voluntary and not contingent on payment.
There are always risks
There are risks associated with inframammary surgery. The inframammary fold may be reduced to create a double bubble deformity between the breast tissue and the implant contour. This can cause a variety of problems, including breast cancer.
Inframammary cuts are less effective than those made at either the periareolar and circumareolar creases. Inframammary cuts can be dangerous because the sensory nerves located at the lower pole are susceptible to being stretched or cut. Inframammary incisions are more likely to cause nipple necrosis than periareolar, and can be less attractive.
Disadvantages
Inframammary incisions are the most common type of incision in plastic surgery. This is due to its simplicity and visibility. It can also be used to access the submuscular, pericardial, and subglandular levels. This type of incision can also be less invasive and poses fewer risks such as infection and the formation of hematomas. Inframammary is also a great option for placing symmetry and minimizing scarring.
This type of breast enhancement has its disadvantages. This method isn't as precise as other types of surgery and the implants may be placed too high or unevenly on the chest. In addition, the scar that is left behind will not be as easy to hide as one may think.
Modified approach
The inframammaryfold is an incision that starts at the chest wall and ends at the underlying glandular tissues. The inframammaryfold is closed by multiple layers, absorbable sutures that reach the medial or lateral edges. The skin disc then moves toward the center of your breasts, returning it to its original position in the nipple/areolar complex. Smaller gauge sutures are used to close the wound.
The incision will be made along the inframammary (which is far from the flap’s edge). Sometimes, special tools are used to harvest flap materials, such an endoscopic instrument or a retractor with a light system.
