inframammary fold

The scars are hidden in the inframammary fold under the breast.

The Anchor stock: a horizontal incision along the inframammary fold, where the breast joins the chest.

Scarring is minimal as a result of a single incision that passes around the nipple and areola and straight down to the inframammary fold.

Grade IV: Severe ptosis-The nipple is far below the inframammary fold and points toward the floor.

Post-surgically, of the three breast-lift surgery scars, the scar to the inframammary fold exhibits the greatest tendency to hypertrophy, to thickness and large size.

In most women, the nipple should be located at, or slightly above, the inframammary fold, because emplacing it too high might later lead to a difficult revision surgery.

Breast contour irregularities occurred when the tissues of the inferior part of the incision are gathered to avoid forming a scar at the inframammary fold.

Grade III: Advanced ptosis-The nipple is below the inframammary fold and at the level of maximum breast projection.

Parenchymal Maldistribution-The lower breast tissue is lacking fullness, the inframammary fold is very high, and the nipple and areola are relatively close to the fold.

Grade I: Mild ptosis - The nipple is located below the inframammary fold (IMF), but remains located above the lower pole of the breast.

In that implantation procedure, the breast implant devices were inserted through an incision to the inframammary fold (IMF), where the breast meets the chest of the woman.

Histologically, it was revealed that the inframammary fold is an intrinsic dermal structure consisting of regular arrays of collagen held in place by a specialized superficial fascial system.

Parenchymal maldistribution - The lower breast lacks fullness, the inframammary fold is very high under the breast hemisphere, and the nipple-areola complex is close to the IMF.

The inframammary fold (or line, or crease) is an anatomic structure created by adherence between elements in the skin and underlying connective tissue and represents the inferior extent of breast anatomy.

In the low-breast configuration, a proportion of the breast weight is supported by the chest, against which rests the lower surface of the breast, thus is formed the inframammary fold (IMF).

Horizontal scar technique The breast reduction performed with the horizontal-scar technique features a horizontal incision along the inframammary fold (IMF) and a nipple-areola complex (NAC) pedicle.

Inframammary fold (IMF), inframammary crease or inframammary line is the feature of human anatomy which is a natural boundary of a breast from below, the place where the breast and the chest meet.

The proper topographic locale for the nipple is determined by transposing the semicircular line of the inframammary fold to the face of the breast (anterior aspect), thereby configuring a circle, wherein the nipple-areola complex is centred.
