1 Featured Operative Technique The Neopectoral Pocket in Revisionary reast Surgery G. Patrick Maxwell, MD; and Allen Gabriel, MD ontroversy regarding the safety of silicone gelfilled breast implants, which were usually placed in a subglandular pocket, resulted in a 1992 moratorium on their use for aesthetic breast augmentation. This forced American surgeons to use saline implants, which were placed under the muscle, thereby gaining extra tissue coverage to conceal the untoward contour irregularities of these implants. 1-3 Revisionary (secondary or tertiary) surgeries are often performed for late complications of breast augmentation, such as implant extrusion, gel bleed, rupture with extravasation of gel, saline implant deflation, capsular contracture, palpability, rippling, double bubble, Snoopy breast, symmastia, and implant malposition. 2 In the past, when most breasts were augmented with silicone gel-filled implants placed in a subglandular pocket, revisionary surgeries for capsular contracture were generally performed with a total capsulectomy, removal of the implant from the subglandular plane, and placement of a new implant in the submuscular position. 2 This is a fairly simple procedure, involving a change in implant placement from over the muscle to under the muscle. More recently, it has become necessary to perform revisionary surgery on volume-depleted breasts as a result of large saline implants that were placed under the muscle. Rarely do physicians see patients for revisionary surgery with existing submuscular saline implants that have adequate superficial soft tissue. Therefore, maintaining the bulk of the pectoralis muscle over the implant is desired. The implant site change procedure that we have developed creates a new submuscular plane that incorporates the use of the existing capsule. The new plane is termed 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. (Aesthetic Surg J 2008;28: ) the neopectoral pocket, defined as the pocket deep to the pectoralis major but superficial to the anterior capsule, which is left intact. Removing the capsule would not only cause more tissue damage, but also result in the creation of a larger space than the original pocket, necessitating the use of larger than desired implants. The advantages of creating a new pocket (instead of performing a total capsulectomy) are less trauma, ease of dissection, precise dissection with regard to the inframammary fold (IMF) for a double-bubble deformity or inferior implant displacement, and precise medial and lateral dissection for correcting symmastia or lateral displacement, respectively. Further, this procedure can effectively treat capsular contracture by creating a new pocket when using any textured implant (round or anatomic) for vascularized attachment of the textured surface. The accurate development of this pocket is even more important when placing an anatomic implant; using this method, the pocket will be snug to accommodate the implant. This is critical for a good outcome, because placement of an anatomic implant into too large a pocket will lead to decreased adherence and implant rotation. In the past, when patients presented with capsular contracture or other implant-related complications, the surgeon had limited options. The site change principle, described in the mid-1990s, 4 led to the idea of total or partial capsulectomy with conversion to a different pocket with or without dual plane conversion. 4 7 The addition of the neopectoral pocket technique to the armamentarium of plastic surgeons treating secondary implant-related complications will provide increased options, simplifying the management of complex problems (Table).

The incision is injected with 1% lidocaine with epinephrine and carried to the level of the capsule. Dissection and Management A supracapsular plane is initiated immediately superficial to the anterior capsule until the pectoralis muscle edge is identified (Figure 2). It is easier to initiate this plane with the implant in place (Figure 3). Taut caudal Initiation of neopectoral pocket Figure 2.

Once the edge of the pectoralis major is identified, a retractor is placed to ease the separation between the pectoralis major and the underlying anterior capsule. It is easier to initiate this plane with the implant in place. retraction of the anterior capsule with retractor elevation of the overlying pectoral muscle (when the implant is removed) facilitates the dissection, which is usually performed with electrocoagulation cautery (Figure 4). At this point, it should be clear whether or not the capsule can be used for creation of the neopectoral pocket (Figure 5, A). alcifications and level of thickness can be palpated and visualized.

5 lematic, or if there is heavy silicone leakage into the pocket, the decision would be to excise it. If the capsule is simply encapsulated and tight, and does not feel calcified, then leaving the capsule would not cause a problem. In our large series of patients, we have documented that the capsule may be left, but that the capsular space must be obliterated. If the capsular space is not obliterated, the tissue will be too loose; there will be two layers of loose tissue, resulting in the tissue giving way from the chest. There are different ways to obliterate the space. In the past, we have used tetracycline, sclerosing agents, and different tissue glues; however, any of these may contaminate the new pocket and cause capsular contracture. What we have found to work best is simply suturing the old pocket with 4 to 5 sutures of 2-0 Vicryl (Figure 5, ). Neopectoral Pocket We visualize and complete the dissection of the neopectoral pocket. At times, there are patients with tissues so thin and capsules so friable that it would be difficult to use the anterior capsule. In these patients, we have tried using the posterior capsule, but that is a very difficult dissection. Taking the capsule of the anterior surface of the ribs can be done in some instances, but not consistently. In some challenging cases, in patients with thin tissues, we have successfully used acellular dermal matrices to enhance thickness and volume. Sizers are then placed, and the patient is placed in a 90 position and contour and pocket irregularities are addressed. Following the completion of both sides, the patient is again placed in a 90 position and the final artistic touches are completed (Figure 5, ). We always place 10 French Jackson-Pratt drains (ardinal Health, Dublin, OH) in patients who undergo revisionary breast surgery. ONLUSION The neopectoral pocket is a new type of implant site change operation. It addresses many of the problems seen in patients with subpectoral saline implants who request revisionary aesthetic breast surgery (Figures 6 and 7). This procedure allows for continued coverage of the implant by the pectoralis muscle, which conceals any implant related contour deformities that may be visible through attenuated overlying breast tissues. reation of a neopocket, as opposed to performing capsulectomy, minimizes trauma while optimizing control of pocket dimensions and location.
