Septum-Based Augmentation Mastopexy for Moderate to Severe Ptosis in Medium-to-Large Breasts: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Septum-based augmentation mastopexy appears safe and reliable in moderate to severe ptosis, especially in medium-to-large breasts. The technique allows controlled tissue reduction, maintains vascularity, and improves implant integration. Patient satisfaction and complication rates are favorable compared to the literature. However, further prospective studies are needed to confirm long-term stability and refine patient selection criteria.
