Abstract
Background: Augmentation mastopexy in post-bariatric surgery patients is a combined challenge that may not be successfully addressed with traditional procedures. One stage augmentation mastopexy techniques poses a relatively high rate of complications and revisions. Pathological changes in post-bariatric surgery breasts make them more complicated. This necessitates modification of our techniques to overcome these problems and achieve long lasting esthetic results. Patients and Methods: Thirty five post-bariatric patients who underwent augmentation mastopexy using a modified superior pedicle technique and subpectoral implant placement were included in a retrospective study. The data collected involved: Pre-operative patients' age, body mass index (BMI), amount of weight reduction, grade of ptosis, standard preand post-operative photographs, patients' satisfaction, complications and rate of revisions. Results: This technique was successfully applied with good to excellent results, rated by 94% of the patients after an average follow up period of 14.3 months, 10% complication rate and 7.1% reoperation rate. Conclusion: The described technique provides long lasting aesthetic results for correction of post-bariatric breast deformity.
