(a) A photograph of the left breast (Br) showing 3 perforators (IMP3, IMP4, and IMP5) arising from the internal mammary artery and supplying the upper medial part of SMAF. (b) A close-up photograph of the previous specimen. The perforators pass through pectoralis major muscle (PM) to supply the upper medial part of SMAF. IMP4 gives 7 branches (1–7) to SMAF, skin, and the mammary gland.
