摘要

Abstract

Objective

To investigate reliability of the infra-nipple broken line incision for breast augmentation.

Methods

From January 2012 to January 2013

15 patients underwent primary bilateral retromuscular breast augmentation with round textured silicone-gel implants and a novel infra-nipple broken line incision. Preoperatively

a semicircular incision was marked along the inferior base of the nipple. It was then extended bilaterally using two transverse right-angled geometric broken lines within the pigmented areolar skin. Follow-up was performed to evaluate the sensation of nipple-areolar complex

the scar

and the shape and texture of the breasts.

Results

The average follow-up was 6.7 months. Most of the patients complained of paresthesia of the nipple or breast skin

but transient decreased sensation improved within 3 months. No patients showed permanent sensory changes of the nipple areolar complex at a minimum follow-up of 4 months. The scars were imperceptible in all patients.

Conclusion

We believe that for selected patients

the infra-nipple broken line incision is a practical and reliable method to achieve aesthetic result.
