Abstract

Introduction: Increasing the demand for mastoplasty increases the risk of developing complications and deformities after implant placement. Objective: To evaluate the results of surgical treatment of late post-mastoplasty augmentation deformities. Method: A longitudinal and prospective descriptive study was carried out with 31 operated patients of mastoplasty of increase coming from other hospitals with delayed deformities that attended the surgery of Plastic Surgery from January 2014 to December 2018. Results: Different surgical procedures were used for breast reconstruction and the most used was the change of the implant followed by the change of plane and mammary pexia. The most frequent complications were breast ptosis, followed by capsular contracture and unsightly scar. The results of the secondary mastoplasties were good, the majority with few complications. Conclusions: We did not find a single surgical procedure that could be applicable and reproducible for all late postmastoplasty augmentation deformities.
