Enhanced Breast Shape through Auto-Augmentation Mastopexy Combined with Lipofilling

Abstract

Auto-augmentation mastopexy associated with breast lipofilling is the best method of contouring the upper pole of the breast in patients who do not require augmentation with breast implants concomitent with breast lift. Solving the volumetric deficit of the upper pole of the breast involves the use of additional techniques to mastopexy and breast lipofilling is in our opinion the most reliable method

 In the cases of self-augmentation mastopexy associated with lipofilling, the volumetric deficit of the breast upper pole was minor and was noticed in 25% of cases compared to the situations of auto-augmentation breast lift where the volumetric deficit of the upper pole was small or moderate and was noted in 75% of the cases. The follow up was 3 years after surgery. Breast lipofilling techniques ensure a natural volume of the breast 3 years after surgery if associated with auto-augmentation mastopexy in cases of breast ptosis with adequate breast volume.
