Current mastopexy techniques rely on incisions on the breast to correct ptosis. Trading a ptotic breast for a visibly scarred breast can be a difficult choice.
A technique of internal suture mastopexy that consists of plicating sutures placed in the superficial fascia of the breast from the deep surface is presented. The procedure leaves no scar on the breast and may be safer than other techniques when combining mastopexy with augmentation.
The senior author has performed this procedure on over 120 patients, with a mean follow-up of two years. Patients and the surgeon have expressed satisfaction with the procedure.
Based on this experience with over 120 patients, the authors believe that internal suture mastopexy is an effective alternative in selected patients.
目前的乳房上提技术依靠乳房切口来矫正乳房下垂。用一个有明显瘢痕的乳房来换取一个下垂的乳房可能是一个艰难的选择。
介绍一种内部缝合乳房上提技术，该技术通过从深层在乳房浅筋膜中放置折叠缝线来实现。该手术不会在乳房上留下疤痕，并且在乳房上提与隆乳术联合进行时可能比其他技术更安全。
资深作者已对120多名患者实施了该手术，平均随访两年。患者和外科医生对该手术均表示满意。
基于对120多名患者的经验，作者认为内部缝合乳房上提术对特定患者是一种有效的替代方法。
