Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group Offers Replacement for Patients Affected by Textured Breast Implant Recall
The SIMM, or the Single Incision Mommy Makeover, Procedure is a term coined by Dr.Danielpour and Dr.Layke that refers to a combination breast augmentation with an abdominoplasty. The abdominoplasty incision is used to perform the breast augmentation as well. By utilizing this technique, there are no scars placed on the breast; two procedures through a single incision!
A complete abdominoplasty is performed and breast implants (saline or silicone) are placed in a submuscular or subglandular position using direct visualization. Although it is technically more challenging, the direct result is a completely natural-appearing breast augmentation without any scar to indicate that an enhancement was performed.
Indications
- Healthy patients that are candidates for breast augmentation AND abdominoplasty
- Breasts without significant ptosis (sagging)
- Patients who meet the above criteria and wish to perform two procedures in a single settin
Contraindications
- Patients with multiple comorbidities (diabetes, heart disease, or any other condition rendering the patient as high-risk
- Patients with significant ptosis (sagging)
Advantages
- Single incision with no breast incisions
- Shorter operative time for combined breast augmentation/abdominoplasty
- Faster recovery time
- Lower cost than two separate procedures
- A single operation
