Breast Lift Procedure
A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).

- Abstract
Background Adjustable breast implants are widely used for both reconstructive and cosmetic breast surgery. They provide unique postoperative
versatility and allow for more effective management of numerous conditions that would otherwise require surgical intervention.
Findings have shown that in a clinical setting, it often is necessary to overexpand saline implants beyond the manufacturer’s
recommended fill volumes for positive results and optimal patient satisfaction. The authors investigated their breast-augmentation
patients, comparing implants expanded beyond the manufacturer’s fill volume with implants that remained within the recommended
parameters.
Methods A total of 138 patients (270 implants) undergoing breast augmentation mammoplasty with Smooth Round Spectrum implants were
evaluated postoperatively. To determine the effects of overexpansion, the incidence of leakage was assessed as well as the
possibility of increased firmness. Patients completed a satisfaction questionnaire.
Results The findings showed no evidence of increased leakage with implants expanded beyond recommended fill volumes, and 97% of the
patients reported a perfect score for satisfaction ratings. Of the 270 implants evaluated in the study, only 7 were given
a less than perfect score.
Conclusions By exceeding the recommended fill volume, the authors were able to use the implant to its maximal potential, with increased
patient satisfaction. The authors were able to correct problems and avoid complications that could not have been resolved
without deviating from the manufacturer’s recommended fill volumes. Nonvalidated restrictions on fill volumes severely limit
the efficacy of adjustable implants.
