Video Summary

This video on reoperative augmentation mastopexy explains inferior submuscular sling dissection and gland-implant stabilization. The pectoralis major is released along its fibers to create a muscular sling, improve implant coverage, and control the pocket while preserving muscle integrity. Non-absorbable sutures then close the old pocket and secure the implant, with central fixation maintaining nipple-areolar position and preventing recurrent ptosis. Postoperative results show improved symmetry, stable inframammary fold position, better projection, and a natural lower pole contour over time.
