Calling all Patients with a wide space between implants

November 19th, 2008

Last week, I had the opportunity to create a new technique that will improve breast lifts significantly for the future. The patient had implants placed under the muscle 3 years ago. The result was implants that were too wide, nipples too wide and a large hollow space between the two breasts. The incision for the previous procedure was under the breasts in the inframammary fold and were 3 cm long. the patient wanted them to look better, correct the hollow space in the middle and most of all she wanted no new scars. Voila! the Inframammary incision Breast Medialization procedure was invented. I hereby call this the IBM procedure.

The procedure was performed like this: the old implants were removed, the breasts pockets were closed laterally with my breast splint (previously reported), a tunnel was created from the incision to the breast tissue on the inner breast and then the breast tissue was moved medially and anchored in place. This maneuver moved the breast tissue and nipple toward the center. A new implant was put into and beautiful breasts were the result. After our 1 week follow-up the results were still great! I will show follow-up photos in later blogs – so be on the lookout for The IBM procedure.
