A mastopexy technique for mild to moderate ptosis.

A surgical technique for mastopexy, done through a circumareolar incision and leaving no noticeable scar, is described. The skin brassiere is undermined and a rotation-invagination and suture maneuver are performed which simultaneously augments the projection of the breast and elevates the nipple-areola complex. The overlying skin contours itself to the reshaped breast. The favorable results obtained in six patients with this new method are encouraging and further use in selected patients is planned.
