Lowering the inframammary foldPosted Thursday, November 15, 2007 to PROCEDURES > Breast Posted by Tom Pousti, M.D. Some patients present with a short distance from the areola to their inframammary fold. Many of these patients wish to increase this distance and the “fullness” of the lower pole of the breasts. This distance can be increased in the operating room and the fullness of the lower pole of the breasts enhanced with the implants. A major portion of Dr. Pousti's practice involves helping patients who wish to enhance the appearance of their breasts (breast augmentation). Some patients present with the finding of a short distance from their areola to their inframammary fold. The patients often wish to increase that distance and the appearance of "fullness" of the lower pole of the breasts.Careful measurements area made in order to achieve as much symmetry as possible – care is taken to avoid over-dissection and a resulting “bottoming out” of the implants.
In the operating room with implants in position and the infra-mammary fold lowered and therefore producing a larger distance from the areola to the infra-mammary fold.
