LEON RODRIGUEZ, Yamilé  e  CAIROS BAEZ, José. Evaluation of the surgical results of mastoplasty by periareolar route. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2009, vol.48, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

INTRODUCTION. The greatest disadvantages of the correction of moderate breast hypertrophy or normotrophy associated with I and II degree ptosis are the visible scars. This paper is aimed at evaluating the results of a breast reduction and suspension plasty technique by periareolar route. METHODS. 24 female patients underwent mastoplasty by periareolar route at the Plastic Surgery Service of «Hermanos Ameijeiras» Clinical and Surgical Hospital. The technique consisted in the design of a glandular dermofat flap fixed to the clavipectoral aponeurosis by a circular periareolar incision in such a way that the breast would maintain its form, consistency and position. RESULTS. The results were evaluated on the first, third and sixth month, and a year after the operation. Aesthetic results were obtained in 79.2 % of the patients. Breast ptosis was corrected in 95.7 % of the cases. An adequate anterior projection of the breast was attained in 87.5 % of the patients. Only three cases presented complications, which were abscessed lypolisis and skin necrosis. CONCLUSIONS. Good aesthetic results were obtained in most of the patients, as well as the correction and reduction of ptosis and breast volume, respectively, with a minimum of mild complications by using this technique.
