Journal CME Article: Expanded Approaches for Mastopexy in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery-43654-Video 3 of 3

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video outlines the technique for single-stage, skin-only mastopexy with nipple-sparing mastectomy and direct implant reconstruction. It covers preoperative markings, incision patterns depending on the degree of ptosis and skin excess, and the importance of maintaining blood supply to the nipple-areolar complex. Techniques include circumvertical and Y’s patterns for incisions. Post-mastectomy, skin viability is assessed, and sizers help determine implant placement. The practice prefers pre-pectoral reconstruction using a combination of synthetic mesh and ADM for implant support, ensuring stability. The video also touches on expected contour deformities and fat grafting for natural appearance enhancements.
