The Efficacy and Safety Assessment of Sequential Liposuction Modified Double Ring Areola Incision in Moderate and Severe Breast Ptosis Correction.

[BACKGROUND] A total of 42 cases of moderate and severe breast ptosis were treated with sequential liposuction modified double ring areola incision surgery (experimental group), and 45 cases were treated with traditional double ring areola incision alone surgery (control group).

[METHODS] They were followed up for 6 months after the operation. The scar formation and breast ptosis repair were observed, and postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were monitored.

[RESULTS] Better results such as improved postoperative breast appearance were achieved in the sequential liposuction modified double ring areola incision group compared with the double ring areola incision alone group. After treatment, the distance between the midpoint of the inframammary fold and the nipple, the distance between the suprasternal fossa, and the nipple of the two groups were lower than those before treatment. The distance between the midpoint of the inframammary fold and the nipple showed no difference between the two experimental groups. The distance between the suprasternal fossa and the nipple of the experimental group were lower compared with the control group. Lower complication rates and higher satisfaction rates were observed in patients treated with sequential liposuction modified double ring areola incision. The patients in the experimental group were more satisfied with breast symmetry, breast shape, and breast size than those in the control group.

[CONCLUSIONS] The treatment with sequential liposuction modified double ring areola incision was effective and safe compared with double ring areola incision alone. It could improve the breast shape of patients, improve the satisfaction of patients, and reduce the occurrence of complications.
