The inframammary skin-sparing mastectomy technique
2017
Summary Skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate implant-based breast reconstruction is technically a challenging procedures for women with large, ptotic breasts. This is usually performed using the Wise pattern incision resulting in an inverted T scar, which is associated with postoperative complications. The other challenge is obtaining adequate coverage of the prosthesis. We describe a technique that avoids the inverted T scar and provides a single horizontal scar with a double dermo-muscular layer coverage of the prosthesis.
