The inframammary approach to breast augmentation.
The inframammary approach to breast augmentation is the standard to which all others must be compared. The critical part of the breast augmentation operation is the accuracy and symmetry of the pocket creation, and the anatomically most critical aspect of this dissection lies at the inframammary fold. The inframammary approach unquestionably offers the greatest visualization of this area and results in the least damage to normal tissue.
