Increasing numbers of patients are presenting with volume-depleted breasts as a result of large saline implants that were placed under the pectoral muscle. To treat this problem, the authors introduce a revisionary surgery technique, called the neopectoral pocket, designed for patients with subpectoral implants. This technique is useful for the management of late breast augmentation complications, such as capsular contracture and implant malposition, including "double bubble" breast deformity, "Snoopy breast", and symmastia. The creation of the neopectoral pocket maintains muscle coverage over the implant, allowing control of pocket size while minimizing trauma.
由于大量盐水假体置于胸大肌下方，出现乳房容量减少的患者数量日益增多。为解决这一问题，作者介绍了一种修复手术技术，称为新胸肌腔隙，专为胸大肌下植入假体的患者设计。该技术有助于处理隆胸术后晚期并发症，如包膜挛缩和假体位置异常，包括“双泡”乳房畸形、“史努比乳房”和胸骨融合。新胸肌腔隙的创建可保持肌肉对假体的覆盖，在控制腔隙大小的同时将创伤降至最低。
