Video commentary by Robert Whitfield MD explaining refinements to breast augmentation: removing skin and suturing tissues to better cover the chest wall (especially in thinner patients), then adding fat grafting focused on the upper two-thirds/cleavage to restore fullness while avoiding lateral (side) tissue projection.
And when we get a change in the position and remove that skin and then suture the tissues together, it also helps cover up the chest wall, which are many of my patients, just because they're already relatively thin and that's why they got implants in the first place. We want to make sure we do our best to cover that up. The other issue is, once we get that closed and we're adding fat back, we want to fill in the upper two thirds, the cleavage area, and we don't want to really create more of the presence of tissue out into the side of the patient. So we don't want to try to create side move, if you will.
