Abstract
Mastopexy either with or without augmentation provides the type of challenge in aesthetic breast surgery that can be altogether frightening to the new trainee and even give pause to the experienced practitioner.

Frequently, any asymmetries, however minor, are persistently noted by the patient postoperatively as the patient often dwells upon her newly discovered shape.
