ABSTRACT
The techniques for augmentation mammoplasty presented over the course of time numerous adaptations that ensure refinements and better results. In addition to the technique already described by Graf, in 1998, we report here a tactic of fascial flap closure in the inframammary groove. In order to avoid complications such as the dreaded operative wound dehiscence and early mammary ptosis, the closure strategy described guarantees a natural form of silicone implant protection. The technique of fascial flap in the region of the submammary sulcus, already a routine in our service, is shown to be effective in implant protection.
