Abstract

A new surgical procedure was introduced for correction of moderate mammary ptosis in this paper. The double-ring incision around areola was taken, tongue-shaped gland flap at the lower part of breast was turned over and filled in the posterior space of breast. The glands at both sides of the lower part were sutured together, and the basal part of the breast was tighten fully. Then, the upper pole gland was sutured by raising so that the nipple-areola complex is fully raised. The breasts were conical through this shaping, thus the correction effect of breast ptosis was satisfactory. This technique is ingenious in design, convenient in operation and exact in curative effect. It can be used as one of the options for mastopexy.
