Oncoplastic Breast Incision in Large Breast with Ptosis

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO
  • In general, patients with significant ptosis of the breast:
    • Obtain better cosmetic results with a reduction mammoplasty compared to donut or Benelli mastopexy
  • Lesions distant to the nipple areolar complex:
    • Can be difficult to access through a mastopexy incision
