Usefulness of breast-volume replacement using an inframammary adipofascial flap after breast-conservation therapy.

In breast-conservative therapy (BCT), it is difficult to repair defects in the inferior portion of the breast. We performed an immediate reconstruction using an inframammary adipofascial flap after breast conservation in 4 patients with breast cancer in the inferior portion of their breasts and evaluated the usefulness of the procedure. A skin incision is made at the inframammary line.
