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).

- Two articles in the ‘Controversies in Cardiovascular Medicine’ series in Circulation discuss whether lowering LDL-cholesterol is an effective strategy to reduce cardiac risk.
The first article challenges healthcare workers to consider the possibility that “the cholesterol-lowering programme has in large part failed to stem the epidemic of CHD and that the well-meaning focus on LDL-C reduction has deflected interest in other therapeutic aspects of lipoprotein treatment that provide equal or greater benefit.” The author reviews the knowledge acquired since 1996 and discusses the following topics.
• Blood cholesterol lowering history
• Relative risk reduction and professional/public confusion
• Statistical significance does not necessarily mean clinical relevance
• NNTs
• The need to go beyond LDL-C reduction and incorporate aspects of reverse cholesterol transport
• HDL-C–raising therapy
• LDL-C–lowering only therapy vs. LDL-C–lowering plus HDL-C–raising therapy trials
The second article outlines the rationale for lowering LDL-C to reduce morbidity and mortality from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The following topics are discussed:
• LDL: the driving force of atherogenesis
• Residual risk beyond LDL lowering
• LDL lowering in secondary prevention
• Primary prevention of ASCVD
The author notes that the major challenge for the medical community is how best to achieve LDL lowering in the general population. He believes that “this will likely require a rethinking of the medical and public health models of prevention and new models almost certainly will include a broader use of inexpensive LDL-lowering drugs but with improved selection of individuals who are likely to benefit.”
