Clinical and anatomical justification of periareolar mastopexia on the example of a clinical case
Aim. Outline the peculiarities of periareolar mastopexy surgery, the preparation of patients for surgery, the risks and possible complications based on a clinical case. Materials and methods. The basis of the work is a clinical case. In October 2018, a re-reolaris breast lift was performed under ETN. Postoperative observation was performed by a plastic surgeon for 5 months. Results. Analyzing the results of clinical observation, it can be noted that if all recommendations are followed before, during and after surgery, a good result can be achieved. Within 4 months, the patient was treated with peri-polar folds, leaving a circular postoperative scar that had healed by primary intention. The areola decreased by 1 cm from 6 cm before surgery and 5 cm after surgery. After 4 months, we see that visually the mammary gland has become smaller in size, due to the tightening, but the volume of glandular and adipose tissue has remained the same. Such plication increases chest taper. Conclusion. The final result after periareolar breast lift was evaluated 4 months after surgery. After 4 months, the patient’s breasts acquired a more natural shape, the gathering around the areola disappeared. Scar pales only after 6-12 months after surgery, for each woman, this process takes place individually.
