Nevertheless, this approach usually implies a closure under tension which could lead to areolar distortion, scar widening and hypertrophic scarring. To prevent these complications, different surgical adjustments to this technique have been proposed, such as the Hammond's "Interlocking Gore-Tex suture.

Background: Ptotic breast deformity arises from decreased breast tissue volume and skin laxity, causing descent of breast tissue due to gravity. Mastopexy lifts and reshapes the breast and can be potentially associated with breast implants in case of need of volume increase. However, this option is not accepted by all the patients.

While various techniques have been developed, clinical outcomes often require refinement. In this study, we employed an inferolaterally pedicled, tongue-shaped parenchymal flap to perform auto-augmentation mastopexy via periareolar approach.

Chyle leak is a relatively rare post-operative complication of breast and axilla surgery, and the majority of these cases can be managed conservatively. We present the case of a 42-year-old female with chyle leak within the external thoracic cavity following elective augmentation mammoplasty and mastopexy. This patient failed initial operative management consisting of implant removal, washout, suture plication, and intra-operative drain placement as well as subsequent conservative management including diet modification, total parenteral nutrition, and percutaneous aspiration.
