               RESULTS
               Group A
               The group comprised 11 patients. The mean age of the patients was 28.82 ± 7.01 years (range 20-44), mean
               preoperative and postoperative NAC to IMC measurement, recorded in 10 patients, was 7.15 ± 1.98 cm (range
               4.5-11) and 8.35 ± 1.18 cm (range 7.0-10.0) respectively. Mean preoperative Sternal Notch (SN) to NAC,
               marked SN to NAC and postoperative SN to NAC measurements were 22.45 ± 2.06 cm (range 19.5-26.0),
               20.95 ± 1.01 cm (range 19.5-22.5) and 22.33 ± 0.60 cm (range 22-24) respectively. Tissue excised was minimal
                                                                           3
               and not measured. Mean size of the implant used was 379.55 ± 77.18 cm  [Table 1 and Figure 8A-F].

               Group B
               The group comprised 29 patients. The mean age of group was 35.17 ± 12.37 years (range 20-66) and the mean
               preoperative and postoperative NAC to IMC crease of 8.53 ± 1.48 cm (range 5.0-13) and 9.72 ± 1.51 cm (range
               6.5-12) respectively. Mean preoperative Sternal Notch (SN) to NAC, marked SN to NAC and postoperative
               SN to NAC measurements were 24.69 ± 2.01 cm (range 21.5-30), 21.00 ± 1.25 cm (range 18.5-23.5) and 20.76
               ± 1.40 cm (range 19-24) respectively. Mean weight of the tissue excised was 46.67 ± 17.39 g (range 17-78) and
               56.00 ± 23.84 g (range 28-106) on the right and left side respectively. The mean implant size used was 289.48
                       3
               ± 109 cm  [Table 1 and Figure 9A-F].
               Group C
               The group comprised 10 patients. The mean age of group was 39.60 ± 12.15 years (range 23-64) and the mean
               preoperative and postoperative NAC to IMC crease of 10.11 ± 1.24 cm (range 9-13) and 8.75 ± 0.98 cm (range
               7-10) respectively. Mean preoperative Sternal Notch (SN) to NAC, marked SN to NAC and postoperative SN
               to NAC measurements were 27.27 ± 2.70 (range 23.0-32.0), 23.30 ± 3.22 (range 19.5-31.0) and 21.92 ± 2.33 cm
               (range 19-25) respectively. Mean weight of the tissue excised was 138.50 ± 63.44 g (range 77-227) and 124.50
