The major disadvantage of breast ptosis correction using the standard mastopexy procedure is the visible scarring. The use of an implant alone is often inadequate, especially in the more ptotic breast. A technique employing a submuscular expandable mammary prosthesis together with release of the breast tissue from the underlying muscle is described. This method enables correction of greater degrees of ptosis than is possible with implant placement alone.
使用标准乳房上提术进行乳房下垂矫正的主要缺点是会留下明显疤痕。仅使用植入物往往并不充分，尤其是对于下垂较严重的乳房。本文描述了一种采用肌下可扩张乳房假体并从其下方肌肉游离乳房组织的技术。与仅植入假体相比，该方法能够矫正更严重程度的乳房下垂。
