I am removing my 190cc implants, had for over a year with a breast lift. Surgeon says I don't need another lift but would benefit from an IMF tuck, I can't find any info on this online or more explanation. Is this common? What can I expect from results?
Answer: IMF Tuck This as I also call it an inferior mastopexy is when the extra skin is removed from the breast tuck and the incision is placed along the inframammary/tuck crease. It is basically the horizontal or tuck incision only from a full lift. This help reduce the extra skin stretch that has happened.Hope that helps.

Answer: Inframmamary tuck You should ask your surgeon for clarification but it probably has to do with tightening the skin along the inframmamary fold where there probably is already a scar. If there is not a scar you should definitely speak to your surgeon to determine if an extra scar is worth it. It can also be accomplished from the inside of the breast.

Answer: IMF tuck Dear Jennifer6645, with this surgery your plastic surgeon will remove the excess skin from your upper abdomen by creating an incision under your breasts. I suggest you to discuss this in details with your plastic surgeon and don't forget to check before/after photos of the patients that your plastic surgeon operated.

Answer: IMF tuck The type of tuck you mentioned refers to incisions along the breast fold and in between the breasts. It addresses excess skin on the upper portion of the abdomen. This type of tummy tuck is not standard as the tension of the incisions may cause the incisions to move down below the breasts where they are visible and difficult to hide under bathing suit tops/bras. I encourage you to discuss this further with your surgeon and view multiple before/after photos in order to determine if it is right for you.

Answer: What is an IMF tuck? What can I expect from results? (photo) If the PS with whom you consulted is recommending the reverse TT and breast lift, you should ask to see photos of his/her work and have him/her answer all your questions. A reverse tummy tuck will help with upper abdominal laxity. The scars will be placed in the breast folds. This can be a tricky procedure if the IMF is not strong enough to oppose the tension from the tummy flap. This sometimes has to be reinforced to prevent IMF migration. This may be the only real option in some cases, but I would have to examine you to verify.
