Some physicians have argued that combining breast augmentation and mastopexy creates added risks, such as scarring, death of breast tissue, and poor positioning of the implants. Surgeons have argued that the operation is complicated and unnecessarily risky.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a recent study published in <em>Aesthetic Plastic Surgery<\/em>, Dr. Ariel Tessone and her colleagues were able to employ a safe, simple mastopexy-augmentation technique that involves resectioning the breast after the implant has been inserted. The study examines 60 patients who underwent this procedure. It reports a high satisfaction rate and a low (10 percent) reoperation rate.<\/p>\n<p>While there are various considerations outlined in the study that would limit the use of this procedure, it seems that augmentation-mastopexy surgery may be a viable option for patients who want to correct both breast sagging and loss of breast volume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For patients who have lost both breast volume and experience a breast droop, combination breast lift and augmentation procedures can restore what has been lost.
