Breast Implant Procedure Using Plastic Surgery

Procedure: Their should be a line marking all cuts prior to the medical instruments and the forceps are used. When the implant is to be placed submuscularly, epinephrine solution 1:10,000 may be squirted into the pectoral muscle; however, to avoid penetration of the chest wall, additionol care must be taken. Final adjustment in the placement of the prostheses may be made after placing the patient in a sitting position to assess size, contour and symmetry.

Inframammary: A 3-4 cm cut is placed just on top of the inframammary crease. inferiorly to the pectoralis fascia, A flap is developed. A plane is created between the pectoralis fascia and the posterior capsule of the breast (sub glandular approach). to accommodate the implant, a pocket is made by blunt dissection. Care is taken to avoid intercostals nerve damage. Meticulous hemostasis is obtained before to implant inserted. If you have a fiber-optic retractor than you may want to use it. The process is repeated bilaterally. The patient may be placed in a sitting position following insertion of the implants to assess the symmetry and size of the augmentation. Using a running subcuticular closure the skin may be closed.

Preparation of the Patient: With conscious sedation, anesthesia may be either local or general. with a supine postition and on arms extended, you should place the pateint on the table in a symmetrically fashion, abducted and secured in position on padded arm-boards at approximately an eighty degrees angle using padded restraints. to examine the breast symmetry and size, the patient will be put in a sitting postion during the procedure. (it is possible for breast distortion could appear in the supine postion. It may be a good idea to fluff the pillow on occasion. All bony prominences and areas vulnerable to skin and neurovascular pressure or trauma are padded. Using surgical instrument sets, an electrosurgical dispersive pad is applied.
