Breast augmentation paired with mastopexy is often regarded as a challenging procedure since it is essentially two surgeries in one. Because of the complexity of the dual procedure and the careful planning required, many doctors avoid performing these surgeries together, instead preferring their patients to undergo two separate surgeries. These two procedures can be safely performed with systematic planning and intra-operative execution. This book provides not only insight and instruction on a variety of mastopexy procedures and accompanying types of breast augmentation, but it will also help the clinician determine the optimal surgery for each patient.
Primarily meant for practicing aesthetic plastic surgeons, Augmentation Mastopexy — Mastering the Art in the Management of the Ptotic Breast will also be used among plastic surgery fellows and residents. Unlike some competitive literature that briefly touches on the topic or provides an overview, the information is systematic and comprehensive, providing a wealth of color images to accompany the techniques described. Case studies with long-term follow-up are also included, offering an understanding of potential pitfalls and a veritable how-to for handling complications when they arise.
