Hello, today I wanted to tell you how in cases where the mammary gland is very small and scarce, the result that we want to obtain naturally will need a different treatment than in cases of tuberous breasts (Case 1 y Case 2).
This is when we need to use more tissue than just the mammary gland itself, since its scarcity would not be enough to cover and mask our polyurethane-coated anatomical implant.
These cases also have a short distance between the areola and the submammary fold, just like tuberous breasts, as can be seen in the preoperative marking. For this reason, if we were to place an implant preserving the original submammary fold, it would cause an inelegant result, since the areolas would be focused on the ground, when they should be in a frontal position after surgery.
I then decided to lower the submammary fold to a more anatomical position, and given the scarcity of tissue to cover the implant, I used the submuscular location. The entry approach was the new submammary fold and from there perform all the maneuvers to place our implant behind the pectoralis major muscle, which would give us greater coverage to it.
The postoperative period of these cases in which the original position of the pectoral musculature must be modified, requires a good shaping and compressive bra for at least 3 weeks, and concomitantly perform manual lymphatic drainage physiotherapy treatment.
After 4 weeks, our patient returned to her physical activity, which she gradually resumed, but between the 3rd and 4th week she was already instructed to perform specific muscle stretching exercises in the thoracic area.
Our patient today is a very healthy girl and in love with physical activity, but she lived with a complex about her image, and thanks to this operation she finds herself more feminine.
