Abstract
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 input, and better scar healing with less widening.
