  • Title: Augmentation Mastopexy:: Planning and Performance for Predictability: Management of Complications.
    Author: Layt CWL.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 2021 Jan; 48(1):45-57. PubMed ID: 33220904.
    Abstract:
    Augmentation mastopexy is generally considered to be one of the most difficult operations in breast surgery. It has an undeserved reputation for high complication rates and unhappy patients. Through careful planning, surgical techniques involving manipulation of the breast while maintaining blood supply and implant cover, and good augmentation technique, the operation can achieve predictable results in most cases with a low complication rate. Techniques to assess and manage the 2 main complications of waterfall deformity and bottoming out are discussed.
