Treatment of the mammary ptosis utilizing the technique of Liacyr Ribeiro type I modified
Abstract
Background: the mastopexy aims at repositioning the areole - nipple complex that has descended because of the decrease of the elastic capability of tissues and remodeling the remaining mamma, restructuring the glandular tissue and resecting the cutaneous secondary surplus.
Objective: to determine the mastopexy's esthetic results using Liacyr Ribeiro's technique peduncle type I modified by the author.
Methods: it was carried out a prospective, cross-sectional study about the application of the technique of mastopexy described by the professor Liacyr Ribeiro peduncle type I to which a modification was made by using for its design Wise's pattern, from January, 2014 to December, 2017. The sample was 24 patients with different grade of mammary ptosis, taken in a not-probabilistic form coinciding with the universe.
Results: the majority of the patient that underwent surgery had a grade 3 of mammary ptosis. Of the total of patients, the 5.85 % presented different grades of complications related to procedure. The 91.67 % was pleased with the procedure and the obtained results.
Conclusions: the mastopexy is a surgical procedure with high security levels, that achieves an important change in the patients' corporal image and produces great satisfaction in them.
