    This study presents an improved subcutaneous mastectomy technique using axillary and inframammary incisions. The method enhances prosthesis placement and stability for better patient outcomes in breast reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Breast Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Subcutaneous mastectomy is a common procedure for breast cancer.
    • Current techniques may have limitations in prosthesis placement and stability.
    • Improving surgical approaches is crucial for optimal aesthetic and functional results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an improved technique for subcutaneous mastectomy.
    • To detail two surgical approaches: axillary and inframammary incisions.
    • To introduce a modification for reinforcing the prosthesis-containing space.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a short axillary incision for implant placement in the retropectoral space.
    • Employing an inframammary incision for pathological tissue removal from the prepectoral space.

  • Incorporating a laterally rotated inframammary dermis flap to reinforce the retropectoral space margin.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique facilitates efficient removal of pathological tissue.
    • Silicone implants are effectively placed in the retropectoral space.
    • The dermis flap modification enhances the stability of the prosthesis.

    Conclusions:

    • This improved technique offers a viable option for subcutaneous mastectomy.
    • The dual-incision approach and flap modification potentially improve outcomes in breast reconstruction.
    • Further studies are warranted to evaluate long-term efficacy and patient satisfaction.
