Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of applying the inframammary fat fascia flap in breast-conserving plas-tic surgery for tumors in the lower quadrant of the breast.Methods Ninety-six patients who underwent breast-conserving plastic surgery for lower quadrant tumors in Leshan People's Hospital from September 2021 to September 2023 were selected and divided into an observation group(n=52)and a control group(n=44)according to the method of breast defect repair.Both groups underwent radical surgery.The observation group was given repair with the inframammary fat fascia flap,while the con-trol group was given repair with the lateral thoracic fat fascia flap.The surgery-related indicators,differences in breast appear-ance,and complications of the two groups were observed and compared.Results In the comparisons of operation time,intra-operative blood loss,postoperative drainage time,postoperative drainage volume,incidence rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis,statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group(P＞0.05).The postoperative breast appearance of the observation group was better than that of the control group(P＜0.05),with an excellent and good rate of 98.08％.The score of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast(FACT-B)of breast cancer patients in the observation group one year after surgery was(105.55±10.03)points,which was significantly high-er than that of the control group[(94.44±11.12)points](P＜0.05).The total incidence rate of complications in the observation group was 3.85％,which was significantly lower than that of the control group(20.45％)(P＜0.05).Conclusion The ap-plication of the inframammary fat fascia flap in breast-conserving plastic surgery for lower quadrant tumors has good postopera-tive breast cosmetic effects,without a significant increase in operation time and surgical complications.
