“…Erol and Spira 8 and Gruber 9 use their techniques only in mild degrees of ptosis. Spear 10,11 would not use his technique in patients with grade II or higher ptosis. Puckett 12 limits crescent mastopexy to patients with grade I ptosis.…”

The literature on short scar mastopexy was reviewed, with a focus on the different techniques. Currently four techniques have been described: the periareolar, the vertical, the inverted-T, and the L-shaped scar. The different techniques were evaluated with regard to patient selection, operative techniques, scar length, and complications. A large number of techniques have been published for minimal ptosis, whereas for significant ptosis, the number of surgical options is limited. It is evident that limited scar techniques can be applied to all grades of ptosis, but there is no one technique that can satisfactorily correct all degrees of ptosis. Plastic surgeons should weigh the advantages and limitations of each technique to correctly address breast ptosis. This article reviews an algorithmic approach to correct all degrees of ptosis with mastopexy.

Increasing the volume of the breast while simultaneously decreasing the skin envelope equates to surgery involving opposing forces. Increasing patient demand and the evolving perceptions of surgeons have led to the growing popularity of the combined augmentation-mastopexy operation. In turn, secondary augmentation-mastopexies and revisional surgeries of primary augmentation-mastopexies also have increased in popularity. In this article, the authors describe indications for secondary augmentation-mastopexy, techniques for performing this combined procedure safely and effectively, adjunctive procedures, potential pitfalls, and the treatment of complications.
