摘　　要：Objective To reconstruct an augmented breast that resembles a virginal one that is difficult to be achieved by the traditional technique. Methods We modified the dissection of the subpectoral space by extending it over the sternum edge 1cm medially and beyond the breast crease 2cm inferiorly, yet keeping strictly the upper border of the space on the third rib and the lateral border on the anterior axillary line. Results All 50 patients were satisfied with their augmented breasts which nearly resembled the virginal ones. Conclusion Our modified dissection enabled the mammary implant to stay in the position where it originally was and not be pushed upward and laterally by the pectoral muscle contraction as usually seen by the traditional technique.Objective To reconstruct an augmented breast that resembles a virginal one that is difficult to be achieved by the traditional technique.
