Aesthetic breast surgery with inverted-T scar placed above the inframammary sulcus.
This article describes the inverted-T incision technique with the scar placed above the inframammary sulcus for cases of pexy, breast reduction, and augmentation-reduction mammaplasty. This technique preserves the inframammary fold as an important factor in natural breast suspension; the breast mound is easily shaped independent of the skin tension. The gland- and skin sutures are placed separately and independently. This technique has been used on 380 patients in the last 13 years.
