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. The incision can be easily hidden by a bikini top. It is compatible for both pre-filled large silicone breast implants and larger ones.
Incision technique
Inframammary is one of most popular breast augmentation techniques. This involves creating a pocket on the breast to insert the breast implant. This type of breast augmentation is very safe. This procedure is safe for women with large breast implants. This procedure is safe for 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. Next, 150 mL of tumescent solution is injected through the incision to elevate the pocket and promote hemostasis.
Inclusion criteria
The inframammaryfold is a key landmark in breast surgery. It is used to define ptosis and the inferior border of breast on the chest wall. This fold is also important for subpectoral and lateral implants. It helps to avoid implant movement. The fold is also vital for aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.
Participation in the study will only be granted to women over 14 years old who have suffered from excessive inframammary and/or genital sweating. Patients under 18 years of age must be accompanied with a legal representative, who will sign the FITC. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are also not eligible. Patients are advised that participation is voluntary and not contingent on payment.
There are risks
Inframammary surgery is not without risks. Inframammary surgery can cause a double-bubble defect where the breast tissue meets the implant contour. This type of deformity can lead to a number of complications, including breast cancer.
Inframammary, or circumareolar, incisions are not nearly as effective as those at the periareolar. Inframammary cuts can be dangerous because the sensory nerves located at the lower pole are susceptible to being stretched or cut. Inframammary and periareolar incisions may result in a higher incidence of nipple necrosis. They are also less aesthetic.
Disadvantages
The inframammary incision is the most popular type of incision used in plastic surgery. This is largely due to its ease of use 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 incisions are ideal for creating placement symmetry without causing scarring.
This method of breast-enhancement has some downsides. This method isn't as precise as other types of surgery and the implants may be placed too high or unevenly on the chest. The scars that are left behind may not be as concealable as one might think.
Modified approach
Inframammary fold refers to an incision that runs from the chest wall to the underside of the glandular tissue. The inframammary fold is then closed using multiple layers of absorbable sutures, extending to the medial and lateral edges of the breast. The skin disc is then moved toward the middle of the breast to restore the original nipple–areolar position. For closure, we use smaller gauge sutures.
The incision takes place along the inframammary lines, which are far away 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.
