Gland Suspension Improves Breast Augmentation Outcomes

Background: While dual plane breast augmentation successfully addresses low ptosis grades, concomitant hypomastia and greater ptosis often requires combined immediate or staged mastopexy with extended incisions beyond those required for breast augmentation. In an attempt at offering a minimal scar in a single procedure, we evaluated the benefit of a gland suspension maneuver in addition to a dual plane dissection and implant placement to improve breast contour, avoid postoperative ptosis, and thus reduce staged reintervention procedures.
