Effective and inexpensive dressing for mammaplasties

[1],[2],[3],[4] The traditional dressing of postoperative aesthetic breast surgery consists of gauze around the breast and a postoperative suture line, with a small piece of tulle gras on the NAC wound, which is held in place by a bandage wrapped around the breast and back. The 'trapdoor' dressing is very comfortable for the patients and very practical for the healthcare providers, because it avoids dressing change and allows the nipple-areola monitoring without affecting the sterile field thus facilitating an adequate and clean inspection of the wound in a less-accessible anatomical area.
