Abstract
The lateral approach in mammary implants is recommended, especially in patients with a marked hypomastia. In these patients, submuscular implants are mandatory. Routinely, hyaluronidase is injected in situ before implantation to favor immediate reabsorption of possible bleeding that could lead to capsular contraction. A circular pattern has been designed to reach symmetry both in incisions and the surgical pocket. Advantages of the lateral approach are described.
