Inframammary incision is a surgical procedure used to augment the breast. The incision can be hidden in the breastcrease. It is visible only if the breasts have been lifted or uncovered. The incision can be easily hidden by a bikini top. It can be used with both pre-filled and large silicone breast implants.
Incision technique
Inframammary incision is one of the most common breast augmentation techniques. This technique involves creating an inframammary incision and inserting the breast implant. This method of breast augmentation can be done safely. This procedure is safe for women with large breast implants. This technique is safe to use while breastfeeding.
The main advantage of the inframammary approach to incision is its ability reduce surgical time. The surgeon uses a stab-shaped 3 mm incision to insert an infiltration tube. To elevate the pocket and promote hemostasis, 150mL of tumescent solutions are injected through the incision.
Criteria of inclusion
The inframammary folding is a landmark in breast surgery. It is used to define ptosis and the inferior border of breast on the chest wall. The fold also provides inferior support for subpectoral implants, an important consideration to avoid implant migration. A fold is essential for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
To be considered for participation in this study, women must be at least 14 years old and have a complaint of excessive inframammary sweating. A legal representative must sign the FITC on behalf of patients under 18. Also, women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding will not be eligible. Patients should be aware that participation in the study will not result in any financial incentives.
Risques
There are risks associated with inframammary surgery. A double-bubble deformity can occur when the inframammary fold is lower than the breast tissue. This type deformity can lead you to many complications, including breast carcinoma.
Inframammary, or circumareolar, incisions are not nearly as effective as those at the periareolar. This is due to the fact that the lower pole of your breast's sensory nerves can be stretched or cut by inframammary surgery. Inframammary and periareolar incisions may result in a higher incidence of nipple necrosis. They are also less aesthetic.
Disadvantages
The most widely used type in plastic surgery is the inframammary. This is due to its simplicity and visibility. You can also access submuscular, subpectoral and subglandular planes directly with this incision. This incision is less painful and comes with fewer risks. Furthermore, the inframammary approach is also ideal for achieving placement symmetry with minimal scarring.
However, this breast enhancement technique has some limitations. The main drawback is that it is not as precise as other surgical techniques, and the implants can sit unevenly or too high on the chest. In addition, the scar that is left behind will not be as easy to hide as one may think.
Modified approach
Inframammary fold refers to an incision that runs from the chest wall to the underside of the glandular tissue. Multiple layers of absorbable sutures are used to close the inframammary folded. They extend to the medial as well as lateral edges of your breast. The skin disc is then advanced toward the center of the breast, bringing it to the position of the original nipple-areolar complex. The wound is closed with smaller gauge sutures.
The incision will be made along the inframammary (which is far from the flap’s edge). Special devices can be used to harvest flap material in certain cases, such as an endoscopic instrument, a retractors equipped with a lighting system, or a retractors that have a lighting system.
