Vertical intra-areolar incision in dual-plane breastaugmentation mammaplasty
Objective To investigate the use of vertical intra-areolar incision in dual plane breast augmentation.Methods Fifteen cases received dual plane breast augmentation with vertical intra-areola incision in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2008.Breast gland was cut vertically in the upper part and pectoralis major muscle was separated according to the direction of the muscle fiber.Then the pectoralis major muscle was partially amputated at the starting point.Finally the implant was placed partially under the breast gland and partially under the pectoralis major muscle.Results The follow-up of more than one year showed all cases healed well and the incisions were concealed except one case who suffered delayed healing of the wound and depigmentation of the incision.Conclusion Vertical intra-areolar incision in dual plane breast augmentation is an easily-performed and feasible method and leaves less scar post operation.
