    Summary

    This study confirms that a specific breast lift (dermopexy) technique provides a lasting, satisfactory conic breast shape for up to 7 years. The procedure is safe and effective for various breast types, including large or ptotic breasts.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Achieving a permanent satisfactory breast shape post-surgery is a clinical challenge.
    • Many breast lift methods offer good immediate results, but long-term shape maintenance is often uncertain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of a specific dermopexy technique for breast reshaping.
    • To assess the durability of the achieved breast shape over a 7-year period.

    Main Methods:

    • A dermopexy technique involving infra-areolar dermal pillar fixation to the pectoral muscle was employed.
    • Pre-operative planning focused on controlling scar size and tension.
    • The method was applied to cases of large hypertrophy, normal-sized ptotic breasts, and combined with silicone prosthesis for ptotic hypoplastic breasts.

    Main Results:

    • The 7-year evaluation confirmed the safety of the procedure.
    • A satisfactory and lasting conic breast shape was consistently achieved.
    • Prevention of gland drooping was successful due to firm fixation of the dermal pillar.

    Conclusions:

    • The described dermopexy technique offers a safe and durable solution for breast reshaping.
    • It is a versatile method applicable to a range of breast ptosis and hypertrophy conditions.
    • Minor complications like stitch extrusion or cyst formation are rare and comparable to other dermopexy methods.
