Abstract
A "lipo-fascial" flap is described for creation of the inframammary fold in patients undergoing breast reconstruction with silicone implants. We have employed this technique in 13 patients. The fold has been enhanced in all cases, and we have not encountered any significant complications. This technique is a useful adjunct to breast reconstruction with a silicone implant, and we recommend that it be considered in appropriate patients.
