Inframammary incision is a surgical procedure used to augment the breast. The incision is concealed in the crease of your breasts and can only be seen if the breasts are lifted or covered. It is easily concealed under a standard bikini top. It is suitable for pre-filled and large silicone breast implant.
Incision technique
One of the most well-known breast augmentation methods is the inframammary. This involves making a small incision on the breast and then inserting the breast implants. This type of breast augmentation is very safe. It is safe to perform on women with large breast implant sizes. This technique is also 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 inframammary folding is a landmark in breast surgery. It is used to define ptosis and the inferior border of breast on the chest wall. To avoid implant migration, the fold provides inferior support for subpectoral screws. In addition, a fold is visually important for reconstructive and aesthetic procedures.
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 accompany patients under 18 who sign the FITC. The FITC is not available to women who have been pregnant or are breastfeeding. Patients should be aware that participation in the study will not result in any financial incentives.
There are risks
There are risks associated with inframammary surgery. An inframammary reduction can lead to a double-bubble shape where the implant contour meets the breast tissue. This type of deformity can lead to a number of complications, including breast cancer.
Inframammary incisions do not work as well as those that are made at the periareolar/circumareolar crease. 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
Inframammary incisions are the most common type of incision in plastic surgery. Its ease of use, visibility and accessibility are the main reasons for its popularity. It is also able to directly access submuscular or subpectoral planes. This type of incision is also less invasive and has fewer risks, including the chance of infection and hematoma formation. Inframammary incisions are ideal for creating placement symmetry without causing scarring.
However, this breast enhancement technique has some limitations. This method isn't as precise as other types of surgery and the implants may be placed too high or unevenly on the chest. It is not as easy as you might think to conceal the scarring.
Modified approach
The inframammary fold is an incision that extends from the chest wall to the underlying glandular tissue. The inframammaryfold is closed by multiple layers, absorbable sutures that reach the medial or lateral edges. The skin disk is then moved towards the center of breast, bringing the disc to the original nipple–areolar location. Smaller gauge sutures are used to close the wound.
The incision is made along an inframammary line that is not near 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.
