Abstract

A technique is described that takes advantage of the superior and medial pedicle to improve the appearance of the breast and an inferior flap which contributes a good padding to the inferior pole of the implant, thus minimizing complications.

Use of the technique presented herein for a single-stage augmentation mastopexy procedure enables the surgeon to achieve good and consistent results, avoiding some of the complications inherent to the simultaneous augmentation and breast lift operations, especially implant extrusion. The technique has two advantages: it provides a good vascularization for NAC and keeps a medial dermoglandular subareolar flap to cover the inferior pole of the implant, fixed to the inframammary fold level. At the inferior pole, the implant will be covered by two layers the dermoglandular flap and the cutaneous lateral and medial pillars, obtaining a good long-term stability.
