Subacute Arterial Bleeding After Simultaneous Mastopexy and Breast Augmentation with Implants
Authors
Abstract:
Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures. The goal of the operation is to increase the size, shape or fullness of the breast. It is accomplished by placing silicone, saline or alternative composite breast implants under the chest muscles, fascia or the mammary gland. This type of operation is no exception concerning the occurrence of complications. The most common early complications include an infectious process, a seroma, and a hematoma, and the late ones are capsular contracture, reoperation, implant removal, breast asymmetry, and rupture or deflation of the implant. The authors present a case of subacute arterial bleeding after simultaneous mastopexy and breast augmentation with silicone implants in a 27-year-old woman. The patient complained of worsening swelling and soreness in the right breast. The patient denied having had any traumas. Ultrasonography indicated 2.5 cm heterogeneous fluid sections around the implant. Therefore, revision surgery was performed, and a hematoma of 650 mL was removed. Hemorrhaging from a branch of an internal mammary artery was found. After the revision, the implant was returned to the lodge. The postoperative period was uneventful. This case report presents a description of a subacute hematoma after simultaneous mastopexy and breast augmentation with silicone implants, which is an extremely rare complication in esthetic surgery.

Simultaneous breast augmentation with periareolar mastopexy.
Augmentation mammaplasty is frequently used to fill out the soft tissue envelope of the breast. This is most successful with minimal skin laxity or when there is no need for significant nipple movement. The addition of a periareolar mastopexy can reduce the skin envelope; however, its value is limited to those with no more than mild second-degree ptosis. Although this is a valuable technique, t...

BACKGROUND Despite the increasing popularity of the combined augmentation mastopexy procedure among patients, the safety and efficacy of this surgery have been questioned by many surgeons. OBJECTIVE The authors investigated the safety and efficacy of the combined augmentation mastopexy procedure. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 615 consecutive patients wh...

For augmentation mastopexy, the authors use adjustable implants that are deflated at the end of the procedure and then inflated to the desired size 5 to 10 days postoperatively using external injection domes. Reported advantages, based on 175 cases, include increased perioperative safety for the nipple areolar complex, the ability to adjust for size and symmetry postoperatively with patient inp...

Mastopexy associated with augmentation for small vol ume and mild ptotic breasts has historically challenged plastic surgeons’ creativity. The perfect balance between breast volume, scar, shape, and longlasting results has been the main focus of the work of many authors. Circumareolar, periareolar, and donut mastopexy are different names for a common approach to patients with a ptotic breast....

Primary augmentation/mastopexy is associated with a significantly higher complication rate than primary augmentation alone. Despite this, its popularity has steadily increased. This demand has led to the need for careful preoperative planning and surgical execution to minimize the most frequent complications. This article focuses on the authors' experience with the technical aspects of the proc...
