Inframammary fold: a histologic reappraisal.
The inframammary fold is a defining element in the shape and structure of the female breast. It should be preserved whenever possible in ablative procedures and recreated accurately when the breast is reconstructed after mastectomy. To date, no accurate anatomic description of this essential structure exists. Previous studies have suggested that the fold is produced by a supporting ligament run...
متن کاملInframammary Fold Reconstruction: A Biomechanical Analysis
BACKGROUND Inframammary fold reconstruction has scarcely been evaluated in literature. No biomechanical analyses have been performed comparing different reconstructive methods. This evaluation compares the gold-standard suture reconstruction with an intrarib anchor system (Micro BioComposite SutureTak, Arthrex). METHODS Three analysis groups were compared including 8 Sawbone blocks, 22 embalm...
متن کاملTechnique to achieve the symmetry of the new inframammary fold.
The literature outlines several surgical techniques to restore inframmammary fold definition, but symmetry of the fold is often left to irreproducible procedures. We report our personal technique to restore the symmetry of the inframmammary fold during multistep breast reconstruction.
متن کاملThe Inframammary Fold (IMF) Fixation Suture: Proactive Control of the IMF in Primary Breast Augmentation.
Previous reports have suggested that inferior implant malposition following primary breast augmentation is secondary to violation of the inframammary fold (IMF) and subsequent poor reconstitution of the scaffold during the initial surgical procedure. Additionally, inferior malposition may be related to occult weakness at the level of the IMF incision over time. Specifically, in an inframammary ...
متن کاملMulti-View 3D Data Fusion for Visualization of the Inframammary Fold in Women with Ptotic Breasts
Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is finding increasing use in plastic surgery, both for breast reconstruction after oncologic surgery and for cosmetic augmentation/reduction procedures. The upright view image is conventionally used for surgical planning and outcome assessment. However, inframammary fold (IMF), a critical landmark for breast surgery and morphometry, is typically occluded from the ...
