ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of superior polar gland flap resection combined with biplanar augmentation mammoplasty through the root of the nipple to correct pseudoptosis/mild breast ptosis.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2021, 20 patients (40 breasts) with pseudoptosis/mild breast ptosis underwent augmentation mammoplasty with superior polar gland flap through the root of the nipple and microvilli anatomical silica gel prosthesis.Results:No postoperative complications such as hematoma infection, capsular contracture and abnormal sensation of the nipple and areola were found in 20 patients. During the follow-up of 3 to 18 months, the patients' breasts were plump and straight, the appearance was good, and the prolapse was basically corrected. Postoperative satisfaction was achieved in 20 cases (95%), and the satisfaction of incision scar was 100%.Conclusions:The comprehensive surgery restores the normal anatomical suspension system of the breast, achieves a long-term mechanical stable balance among prosthesis, muscle, breast gland and skin, and receives high satisfaction with breast shape after operation.
