A novel multifrequency low-level laser-assisted mastopexy technique: An analysis in 231 consecutive patients

Abstract

Introduction: The downward nipple-areola complex (NAC) displacement below the inframammary fold characterizes breast ptosis (BPt). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel mastopexy technique in patients with BPt with and without breast prosthesis placement. Methods: A longitudinal study was performed on 231 women diagnosed with BPt treated with a novel low-level multifrequency laser-assisted mastopexy. Change in BPt was assessed according to Regnault’s system and the sternal notch-to-nipple distance (SNND) at the first, second, and third post-operative months. Additionally, the incidence and nature of complications within the first 30 days post-surgery were evaluated according to the Clavien-Dindo system. Results: Before surgery, all patients (100 %) presented with breast ptosis.
