ABSTRACT

Augmentation mammaplasty is the most requested surgery by patients in México. The amount of scientific literature on this matter is vast, and to date more than one hundred techniques have been described. The most frequently used method today, and the only one that has withstood the test of time, is breast augmentation with silicone filled implants. Nevertheless, when there are so many ways to achieve the same surgical objective, it is evident that there is no one ideal procedure. To attain a predictable result, we must understand the dynamics of the tissues acting on the implant. Independent plane dissection allows us to manipulate tissue vectors in order to accomplish a predictable and long-lasting result that preserves the natural form of the breasts and maintains sensory integrity at the nipple-areolar complex. In addition, it does not interfere with imaging studies. When there is associated ptosis, a combination of techniques offers better results in contrast with pure augmentation techniques. We present a technique performed by the authors with excellent results that can be used in patients with minimal to moderate ptosis.
