Modified Internal Mastopexy Technique in Muscle Splitting Biplane Breast Augmentation

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Aesthetic Surgery
• Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

• A muscle splitting biplane breast augmentation combined with internal mastopexy was initially reported in 2014.
• This technique addresses breast hypoplasia, ptosis, and asymmetry.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present recent modifications and outcomes of the muscle splitting biplane breast augmentation with internal mastopexy technique.
• To evaluate the efficacy of the improved technique in selected patients.

Main Methods:

• Since 2016, 30 patients underwent the modified technique: muscle splitting biplane breast augmentation with internal mastopexy type II (MSBBA-IM2).
• This approach is indicated for breast hypoplasia with excessive or loose skin or Grade I breast ptosis.

Main Results:

• Excellent long-term aesthetic results were achieved with MSBBA-IM2.
• The technique preserves a natural breast shape and ensures a smooth transition between breast tissue and implants in the upper pole.
• Breast parenchyma redraping at both upper and lower poles contributes to aesthetic outcomes.

Conclusions:

• The MSBBA-IM2 technique provides enhanced long-term aesthetic results.
• It is an effective alternative for selected patients with breast hypoplasia, loose skin, or mild ptosis.
