Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Dual-plane augmentation mammaplasty is popular for breast ptosis.
  • It is often ineffective for severe grade 3 or glandular ptosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the triple-plane augmentation mastopexy technique.
  • To achieve harmonious fullness, better projection, and appropriate size with limited scarring in severe ptosis cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 75 consecutive cases of grade 3 or glandular ptosis.
  • Triple-plane augmentation mastopexy involves subfascial, subglandular, and subpectoral planes.
  • Procedure includes undermining breast tissue, dissecting subpectoral pocket, suspending breast tissue, implant insertion, and skin excision.

Main Results:

  • Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 6 years (average 3 years).
  • 85.3% of patients completed follow-up.
  • 76.5% of patients reported satisfaction with the results.

Conclusions:

  • Grade 3 and glandular ptosis pose challenges for traditional techniques.
  • Triple-plane augmentation mastopexy is a safe and reliable procedure.
  • This technique ensures long-term aesthetic outcomes with limited scarring.
