GOULART JR., R. y ONIDA MATOS, M.. Breast Implants and Mastopexy: lateral and Medial Breast Flaps, a Technical Option. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.4, pp.313-321. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922012000400002.
The breast implant associated with mastopexy actually is one of most difficult plastic surgeries. In fact, it is a surgery where the surgeon has to use his higher capabilities and skills in order to decide with precision the best relationship between ideal sizes of the breast implant and skin excess. The purpose in this paper is to present a breast lateral and medial flaps technique for augmentation mastopexy surgery looking for a better breast design and resistance on the final result. The technique was created on breast circulation basis, skin excess and better definition and resistance about the aesthetical breast results in the augmentation mastopexy surgery utilizing the T scar technique. The early results were acceptable in order to get breast definition, breast structure and implant protection. The long term results, especially breast resistance, will need to be evaluated. In our opinion, the technique is easy to execute, it allows a satisfactory aesthetic result giving the perception of high security on the implant position, but its resistance in a long term view needs better evaluation.
