ABSTRACT
Introduction: Immediate breast reconstruction changed the lives of patients who underwent mastectomy. Initially, the procedure was performed in two stages, using expanders that were replaced by implants. With the appearance of the matrices, this scenario has changed. Without them, the implant remains with poor lateral coverage with possibility of migration.
Method: Description of a suture technique developed by the author to provide a barrier for lateral migration.
Results: the author has been successful in maintaining the positioning of implants with this technique.
Discussion: The use of screens for inferolateral coverage favors the support and good positioning of the implant, however they are still expensive for Brazilian reality. So the search for options for this issue is imperative.
Conclusions: The use of the suture developed by the author.
