Evading a Surgical Pitfall: Mastopexy––Augmentation Made Simple

Abstract: Many women have a dwindled ptotic breast. The surgical solution for these two concurring problems has two separate procedures: augmentation and mastopexy. Combining these two procedure into one surgery is considered unpredictable and avoided by many physicians. This study presents a revised mastopexy-augmentation technique found to be safer and more simple, enabling these two procedures to be performed together. A retrospective review of 60 patients who underwent surgery by a single surgeon is presented. The p… Show more

“…Individually, mastopexy and breast augmentation procedures are commonly performed with minimal complication rates. 5 We have described a conservative approach to augmentation mastopexy, which focuses on safety and planning, thereby allowing for improved predictability. Multiple authors have published their techniques and results of the one-stage procedure.…”
