Background:
The inframammary incision is a very common access in breast augmentation. The incision must be positioned well to place the resulting scar in the new inframammary fold.
Aim:
This article presents a simple marking on patients for proper localization of the inframammary incision.
Materials And Methods:
Ninety-six patients who underwent primary breast augmentation were divided into 3 groups according to the volume of the used implants.
Results:
A total of 90.6% of the patients had excellent postoperative scar location, and 9.4% had good results, with overall 100% patient satisfaction.
Conclusions:
Our preoperative markings offer simple, easy, and fixed measurements that facilitate proper postoperative location of the inframammary incision and hide the scar significantly.
