What is the Inframammary Fold?
The Inframammary fold or IMF is the naturally occurring fold underneath the breast. The distance from the IMF to the nipple is an important measurement is assessing overall breast volume and breast implant size. The relationship of the nipple to the IMF determines whether breast ptosis is present. Some patients will present with a high tight IMF with a shortened distance to the nipple. In some cases it may be desirable to lower the IMF to increase this distance to allow placement of a larger breast implant.
