Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Breast reduction and augmentation mastopexy are challenging procedures for correcting breast hypertrophy and ptosis.
  • Existing surgical techniques yield variable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a surgical technique for breast reduction combined with silicone implant placement.
  • To evaluate the safety and patient-reported outcomes of this combined procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of cosmetic breast surgeries performed between October 2020 and November 2023.
  • Inclusion criteria: over 300g breast tissue removed.
  • Patient questionnaires assessed satisfaction pre- and post-operatively.

Main Results:

  • 25 patients meeting inclusion criteria analyzed; 78.3% had Grade 3 ptosis.
  • Mean implant size: 352.39 cc; mean tissue removed: 312-657g.
  • Statistically significant improvement in all patient-reported outcomes (p < 0.001); one revision surgery for capsular contracture.

Conclusions:

  • Breast reduction with implants is a safe and effective option for large, ptotic breasts seeking improved upper pole fullness.
  • The procedure has a similar risk profile to augmentation mastopexy.
  • It effectively alleviates associated back, neck, and shoulder pain.
