How to avoid borders deformations when sculpting with zbrush?

NAIMA

Hello , how can I do to avoid deforming borders when applying modifications oan  a mesh that has a open side? Ofted with Zbrush when I apply alphas or inflate or other brushes the borders get modified, I would like to preserve those in order to not change the general borders of the basic first level model.

You can save a morph target and then use the morph brush to get the borders back at the lowest subdiv level.

In the smooth brush modifier under brush menu you can change the minimum number of connected edges. 

For other brushes I think you could look in the automasking subpallete, again under the brush menu. 

You can also use the mask subpallete in Tool menu and mask by borders and such.
