Deskinning in Inverted-T Mastopexy and Augmentation Mastopexy: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Reply: Do High-Projection Shaped Breast Implants Offer An Effective Alternative to Augmentation/Mastopexy?

“…However, we do believe that breast augmentation with anatomical implants is a valuable alternative to augmentation-mastopexy in a subgroup of women with glandular ptosis and a low position of the nipple-areola complex. These patients can benefit from smaller scars, less extensive surgery without the risk of nipple necrosis, 2,3 and a lower cost but at the expense of lowering the inframammary fold. 4 We attribute the benefit of anatomical implants in this selected group of patients with a low position of the nipple-areola complex to the shorter arch from the lower pole of the implant to the point of maximum projection compared with round implants, which limits the lowering of the inframammary fold.…”
