Transaxillary subpectoral augmentation in the ptotic breast: augmentation by disruption of the extended pectoral fascia and parenchymal sweep.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 1990 July
A new approach to transaxillary subpectoral breast augmentation based on an understanding of the anatomy of the extended pectoral fascia and the inframammary fold allows for the widespread application of this technique. Previous authors have stated that transaxillary augmentation is only applicable to a small subset of the general population and is contraindicated in mild degrees of ptosis or in large augmentations. The new approach, augmentation by disruption of the extended pectoral fascia technique and the parenchymal sweep maneuver, prevents high-riding implants and double folds. By disrupting the fascia, the lower portion of the implant is able to sit in a partially subglandular rather than subfascial plane. The anatomy and clinical implications of the extended pectoral fascia are discussed, as is the augmentation by disruption of the extended pectoral fascia technique. The parenchymal sweep maneuver is also described. Clinical cases are presented.
