Abstract: | Breasts represent femininity and any change of shape may affect their appearance. Breast ptosis may be caused by several factors,
including significant weight loss, pregnancy, long breastfeeding periods, and involution of the postmenopausal breast tissue.
Breast ptosis may be associated with breast hypoplasia; thus, in case of a mastopexy with or without the use of implants being
indicated, several considerations have to be taken into account: the wishes of the patient, age of the patient, degree of
ptosis, parenchymal volume, covering tissue, quality of the tissue, pocket implant, shape and content of the implant, and
resulting scars. |
