Vertical Mastopexy
Keywords:
Vertical mastopexyAbstract
Mastopexy is surgery to correct breast ptosis. In this article we present our technique of vertical scar mastopexy relevant to breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. We also review common indications, techniques, pitfalls and complications of mastopexy that general surgeons should know.
