Breasts represent femininity and any change of shape may affect their appearance. Breast ptosis may be caused by several factors, including significant weight loss, pregnancy, long breastfeeding periods, and involution of the postmenopausal breast tissue. Breast ptosis may be associated with breast hypoplasia; thus, in case of a mastopexy with or without the use of implants being indicated, several considerations have to be taken into account: the wishes of the patient, age of the patient, degree of ptosis, parenchymal volume, covering tissue, quality of the tissue, pocket implant, shape and content of the implant, and resulting scars.
乳房代表着女性特征，任何形状的改变都可能影响其外观。乳房下垂可能由多种因素引起，包括体重明显减轻、怀孕、长时间母乳喂养以及绝经后乳腺组织的退化。乳房下垂可能与乳腺发育不良有关；因此，在需要进行乳房提升术（是否使用植入物）时，需要考虑以下几个因素：患者的意愿、患者的年龄、下垂程度、实质体积、覆盖组织、组织质量、口袋植入物、植入物的形状和内容以及产生的疤痕。
