Hybrid mastopexy: improving outcomes on implant-based augmentation mastopexy with fat

Abstract Background Autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation represents an increasingly interesting technique in plastic surgery. Only a few standardized procedures are available. Hybrid mastopexy combines the benefits of autologous and implant-based mastopexy, reducing implant-related complications prothesis size. Herein, we describe our surgical approach as “hybrid aesthetic surgery.” Methods A retrospective analysis all patients who underwent hybrid lifting with simultaneous grafting was carried out. Clinical outcomes, ultrasound evaluation upper pole fullness, postoperative results, were examined. Results Eighteen mean age 33 years (range: 24–52 years) BMI 25.8 kg/m2 21.4–32.1 kg/m2) included this study. Mean injected volume per 115 cc 78–144 cc). Patients followed up 9.4 months 6–24 months). No necrosis or major encountered during follow-up. Patient satisfaction high terms shape, size, coverage implant. recurrence ptosis observed yet no secondary revision surgery performed. Conclusions is effective safe procedure that augmentation. The transfer soft tissue allows obtaining natural onset rippling reduction size prevents but provides desired projection. This reliable option improves long-term shape elevated patient’s satisfaction. Level evidence : IV, therapeutic
