Patients have been requesting implant removal in revisional breast surgery and options for breast improvement without the use of breast implants in primary breast surgery. This article focuses on perioperative decision making and surgical technique in performing a mastopexy with autoaugmentation and fat grafting. The use of a lower island of breast parenchyma relocated to the upper pole through a central pedicle in primary surgery and a superior pedicle in postexplantation cases, along with fat grafting can provide improvement in global volume or simply additional volume in areas of deficiency, such as the upper poles and medial cleavage region.

Extended Superior Pedicle Autoaugmentation (ESPA) Mastopexy: A Review of 20 Consecutive Patients.
Aesthetic Plast Surg

Postgraduate School of Plastic Surgery, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy.
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.

Background: The increasing demand for correcting ptosis has made mastopexy one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery. 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.

Article Synopsis
- An increasing number of women are opting for breast implant removal, often due to anxiety about health concerns, with techniques like mastopexy and fat grafting used for the procedure.
- In a study of 28 patients, targeted compression was applied post-removal and satisfaction was measured through surveys over one year.
- Results showed that 57.14% of women were satisfied with their aesthetic outcomes, and effective management of breast compression contributed to positive results.
Explantation with Lateral Pedicle Mastopexy.

Nottingham Breast Institute, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nottingham, UK.
Background: While breast explantation combined with mastopexy is an increasingly common procedure, it does present certain technical difficulties. We present a technique of explantation mastopexy with the use of an extended lateral pedicle for auto-augmentation.
Methods: A consecutive series of 40 cases was retrospectively reviewed, with patient reported outcome questionnaire and photography at 3 and 12 months.
