Provides a surgical solution of the ptosis, dislocation or sagging of the breast, caused either by repeated pregnancies and lactation, rapid thinning or the effect of gravity over time.
The technique usually used (personal review of the vertical scar technique by Dr. Lassus, modified by Dr Lejour) produces a periareolar circular scar, another vertical one from the nipple-areola complex to the breast and a small horizontal one (result of the decrease of the length of the vertical). In cases of moderate ptosis, other alternatives (circular periareolar mastopexy) can be considered with equally satisfactory results.
