Augmentation Mastopexy

Abstract Background This retrospective study reports on the early experience of a private surgical center with Motiva Ergonomix SilkSurface SikSurface breast implants. Objectives to examine the incidence of complications and satisfaction levels in women who received primary and revision breast augmentation or augmentation-mastopexy with this device. Methods 356 consecutive patients received Motiva Ergonomix breast implants from April 2014 to October 2018 by 3 different surgeons and were followed-up for a minimum of 12 months. Complications were assessed by measuring the rate of rupture, capsular contracture, malposition, late seroma, double capsule, reoperation, symmastia, ptosis, extrusion, and infection. Satisfaction with aesthetic results was assessed by both surgeon and patient, using the Likert scale. Results Only six major complications were observed in these 356 patients (712 implants). One unilateral implant ptosis (“bottoming out”) at 12 months (0.14 %) and 2 capsular contractures (0.28 %), one at 14 months and the other at 2 years. At all time-points, 98% of the patients were “extremely satisfied or very satisfied” with the aesthetic results and surgeons categorized the outcomes as “very important or important improvement” in 96% of the cases. Conclusions Motiva Ergonomix SilkSurface devices provided high patient satisfaction up to more than 5 years postoperatively with very few complications. These data are consistent with other reports in the literature. The observed favorable outcomes might be attributed, at least in part, to Motiva Ergonomix’s bio-engineered “cell-friendly” surface.

Augmentation Mastopexy

Introduction: Augmentation mastopexy is one of the more challenging surgeries. This article presents a new technique in which tailor tacking with skin staples provides maximum tightening of the redundant breast tissue and allows me to previsualize breast shape and symmetry—before the scalpel is raised for a 1-stage skin resection. I believe this is a more precise approach than the standard technique of drawing a pattern, resecting skin, and then tailor tacking the tissues together. Materials and Methods: A total of 41 patients with moderate to severe ptosis and hypotrophy were reviewed for this article. They all had bilateral submuscular saline breast augmentation with bilateral mastopexy with this stapling technique. Surgeries were performed over a 5-year period. The technique is described in detail. Preoperative and postoperative photographs are provided. Results: Patients reported great satisfaction with their results. Only 6 had small areas that healed by secondary intention, and only 1 patient had a mildly hypertrophic scar. Subjectively, this technique allowed me to achieve consistent, reproducible symmetry with single en bloc tissue resection and with less anxiety and guesswork. Conclusions: This augmentation/mastopexy technique produces predictable and reproducible results regardless of the implant size or the amount of skin that needs to be resected. With the adage of measure twice, cut once, it is very comforting to be able to preview the surgery results before having to cut skin.
