چکیده
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was performed for 125 patients who presented to a University-based plastic surgery clinic seeking consultation for mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery between 2010 Jan and 2015 Apr. We obtained demographic data, body mass index (BMI), breast tissue weight, history of smoking, feeding and pregnancy. To measure the degree of ptosis, the vertical level of the sternal notch (s) is taken to be zero and the vertical displacements of the lateral terminus (i) and the nipple (n) are calculated from it. and we calculated the breast ptosis ratio(s-n/s-i). If the ratio > 1, we can not only define there is ptosis but also figure out degree of ptosis following the numerical ratio value.
