Abstract
Subcutaneous mastectomy has been plagued by serious problems, especially capsule formation and poor cosmetic results. Since Jarrett's presentation of submuscular implantation, we have had extensive experience with that technique and have found that it reduces capsule formation and yields excellent cosmetic results. Our technique is presented, along with results in 53 patients. The procedure is also advantageous in that it may consistently and safely be done as a one-stage procedure.
