Breast Reshaping After Massive Weight Loss

Omar E Beidas et al. Clin Plast Surg. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

The technique of dermal suspension, parenchymal reshaping mastopexy is a useful procedure for patients with massive weight loss with a typical presentation. The operation is tailored to the individual deformity, powerfully reshapes the breast, and can be safely combined with other commonly performed procedures. It is long-lasting and associated with minor complications that are easily treated in an office setting.
