Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery
  • Breast Surgery

Background:

  • Concentric mastopexy can be challenging, particularly when combined with breast augmentation.
  • Existing breast ptosis classifications do not adequately address breast volume in patient selection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a reproducible technique for nipple-areolar complex elevation and breast mound shaping.
  • To introduce a novel algorithm for patient selection in concentric mastopexy, considering both ptosis degree and breast volume.

Main Methods:

  • The study evaluated the radial plication technique in 87 patients over 30 months.
  • A new algorithm integrating breast ptosis and volume for patient selection was developed.
  • Concentric mastopexy technique, similar to tailor tack, allows pre-incision breast molding.

Main Results:

  • Radial plication demonstrated effectiveness in nipple-areolar complex elevation and breast mound shaping.
  • The proposed algorithm aims to enhance patient selection for improved concentric mastopexy outcomes.
  • The technique allows for precise breast contouring before surgical incision.

Conclusions:

  • Radial plication is a valuable tool for concentric mastopexy.
  • Incorporating the new algorithm into patient selection can lead to more gratifying results in concentric mastopexy.
  • The technique facilitates predictable and accurate breast reshaping.
