Would a "shoelace breast cast" only work for breast augmentations performed with an inframammary fold incision?

Although placing a shoelace breast cast under the breast at the IMF may be something that was suggested, I have never used that method.  Recommend that you contact the Orange County plastic surgeon who uses this method underneath the IMF to ask if it is applicable to implants placed through the areola.

While not common practice in plastic surgery, the shoelace breast cast has been used in attempts to even out the lower breast fold. It has been used with all incisions and approaches.

The incision does not determine the pocket for the implant. some implants placed behind the muscle are initially high, but do drop with time. If your surgery is fairly recent, please discuss your concerns with your surgeon. If your surgery has been several months or years ago, no shoelace or other clothing will make much difference except to maybe irritate your breasts.
