Technique to achieve the symmetry of the new inframammary fold.

چکیده
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.

The inframammary dome - a modification of the keyhole pattern for reduction mammaplasty/mastopexy.
A modification of the keyhole pattern for reduction mammaplasty and mastopexy is presented. An inframammary dome with a 3-cm diameter and 6 cm base is inserted on the inframammary fold. The authors believe that this modification reduces the incidence of vertical incision separation and minimizes later " bottoming out " of the surgically reduced/lifted breast. Breast reduction and mastopexy are ...
متن کاملA New Criterion for the Application of 2-Stage Implant-Only Breast Reconstruction Using a Classification Based on the Rostrocaudal Distance Along the Chest Wall Between the Lowest Point of the Breast and Inframammary Fold
Objective: It is generally difficult to achieve symmetry in implant-only breast reconstruction with ptosis, and it remains unclear what quantitative criterion may be applied in cases of breast ptosis regarding the application of this modality. Our study aimed to suggest a criterion for obtaining good aesthetic outcomes and a symmetrical inframammary fold that is well-fitting for the brassiere i...
متن کاملThe ‘Cleavage Imprinting’ Technique for Ensuring Mirror Image Medial Scar Symmetry in Reduction Mammoplasty
A key step in the inverted T-scar pattern breast reduction technique is the preoperative marking of the medial skin incision which will ultimately become the medial aspect of the horizontal scar in the new inframammary fold. We describe the ‘cleavage imprinting’ technique that allows the surgeon to generate mirror-image medial imprint marks on the contralateral breast during preoperative markin...
متن کاملCommentary on: Asymmetry of Inframammary Folds in Patients Undergoing Augmentation Mammaplasty.
When patients present with reasonable symmetry in volume, base diameter, and inframammary fold position, breast augmentation can be a predictable, straightforward procedure. Unfortunately, this scenario is not the norm and dealing with preoperative asymmetries in all of these parameters can represent one of the biggest obstacles to providing outstanding results in breast augmentation. It is wit...
