    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Pacemaker implantation typically requires specific surgical approaches.
    • Augmentation mammaplasty is a common cosmetic procedure.
    • Integrating medical device implantation with cosmetic surgery presents unique challenges.

    Observation:

    • A novel inframammary surgical approach was utilized for pacemaker implantation.
    • This technique was applied in conjunction with augmentation mammaplasty.
    • A 16-year-old patient underwent the procedure and was monitored for 3 years.

    Findings:

    • The inframammary approach for pacemaker implantation avoids altering the patient's body contour.
    • The technique results in a highly acceptable and aesthetically pleasing scar.
    • Successful pacemaker function was maintained throughout the 3-year follow-up period.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable option for patients needing pacemakers and desiring breast augmentation.
    • It provides a solution for improved cosmetic outcomes in combined procedures.
    • Further research may explore the long-term efficacy and patient satisfaction with this integrated approach.
