  • Techniques for precise submuscular dissection, focusing on the inferior border.
  • Utilizing radiological imaging (e.g., mammography, ultrasound) to assess dissection plane integrity.

    • Main Results:

    • A reproducible method for defining anatomical parameters for round silicone implant augmentation.
    • Demonstration of how specific measurements ensure correct inframammary fold creation.
    • Radiological evidence confirming submuscular dissection continuity and preservation of the nipple-areola complex's central position.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented protocol offers a straightforward approach to achieving aesthetic outcomes in breast augmentation.
    • Accurate submuscular dissection and precise inframammary fold definition are key to successful augmentation.
    • Radiological assessment is a valuable tool for ensuring surgical accuracy and optimal aesthetic results.
