Inframammary incisions are a surgical procedure to augment the breasts. The incision is hidden in the crease of the breast and is visible only when the breast is lifted or topless. The incision can be easily hidden by a bikini top. It is suitable for pre-filled and large silicone breast implant.
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 method of breast enhancement is very safe. The incision does not affect the nipple or areola, and it can be performed on women with large breast implants. This technique is safe to use while breastfeeding.
Inframammary incisions have the ability to cut down on overall time. This procedure involves a 3 mm-long stab-shaped cut to insert a small infiltration catheter. The surgeon then injects 150mL of tumescent solution through the incision. This will elevate the pocket, promote hemostasis and encourage blood flow.
Inclusion criteria
The inframammary folding is a landmark in breast surgery. It defines the inferior border of the breast on the chest wall and defines ptosis. It also serves as an inferior support for subpectoral implant, which is important to prevent implant migration. A fold is essential for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Participation in the study will only be granted to women over 14 years old who have suffered from excessive inframammary and/or genital sweating. A legal representative must accompany patients under 18 who sign the FITC. Also, women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding will not be eligible. The study is voluntary, and patients should know that there are no financial incentives for participation.
There are risks
There are risks associated with inframammary surgery. The inframammary fold may be reduced to create a double bubble deformity between the breast tissue and the implant contour. 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 can cause more nipple neoplasm than periareolar and are therefore less aesthetic.
Disadvantages
The most widely used type in plastic surgery is the inframammary. This is due to the ease of its use and visibility. It also allows direct access to submuscular, subpectoral, and subglandular planes. This type is also less invasive than other incisions and presents fewer risks including infection and hematoma development. The inframammary approach allows for placement symmetry while requiring minimal 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 inframammaryfold, which is an incision that extends between the chest wall and the underlying glandular cells, is called a transverse incision. 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 then moves toward the center of your breasts, returning it to its original position in the nipple/areolar complex. Close the wound with sutures of a smaller gauge.
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.
