Abstract

VENTURA, O.; MARINO, H.; MARCELLO, G.  and  MITIDERI, V.. Plinth to support mammary implants. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2007, vol.33, n.1, pp.31-36. ISSN 1989-2055.

On many presentations about long term results in mammary implants, the main concern of the authors is capsule formation. We have also observed important changes in the position of the implant in relation to the glandular and other overlying tissues, as well as changes characteristic to the gland in the different ages of women. We have applied conducts on our surgical planning aiming to diminish or delay this facts. We believe this has been achieved with the creation of a plinth to sustain the implant, generating in this way a firm interphase between the dermocellular plane and the implant. This subfascial plane acts as a shelf giving firmness and stability to the new inframmamary fold.
