The primary indication for lowering the inframammary fold is to recruit skin into the lower pole of a small breast to accommodate a breast implant. However, the author advises that in the ptotic breast or the constricted breast, lowering the inframammary fold may result in a double-bubble deformity if improperly executed.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 1277 Jiefang Avenue, Wuhan, 430022, China.
Background: This retrospective cohort study aimed to assess differences in surgical trauma between the inframammary fold approach and endoscopic transaxillary approach in breast augmentation surgery.
Methods: One hundred and ninety-four patients who underwent breast augmentation using either an inframammary fold or endoscopic transaxillary approach were enrolled. All procedures were primary and bilateral cases.
Extended Superior Pedicle Autoaugmentation (ESPA) Mastopexy: A Review of 20 Consecutive Patients.

Background: Ptotic breast deformity arises from decreased breast tissue volume and skin laxity, causing descent of breast tissue due to gravity. Mastopexy lifts and reshapes the breast and can be potentially associated with breast implants in case of need of volume increase. However, this option is not accepted by all the patients.

Background: Breast morphology is the primary objective indicator for evaluating the outcome of augmentation surgery. Studies have indicated that breast morphology undergoes certain changes during the early postoperative period, which may result in a discrepancy between postoperative outcomes and preoperative design. This study utilized three-dimensional scanning technology and statistical methods to analyze the influencing factors of breast morphology changes, aiming to provide reference for implant selection and preoperative surgical planning.

Background: Two-stage prosthetic breast reconstruction involves the exchange of tissue expanders for implants, but complications of this procedure can necessitate revision surgeries and implant removal. The choice between remote incision (RI) and traditional access via existing mastectomy scars (MS) for this exchange remains underexplored. RIs offer potential benefits by placing the incision at a region of higher quality tissue, prompting our comparative analysis of complications between RI and MS.
