Patients and Methods: forty female patients after massive weight loss patients were included in this study, divided in to two groups. 20 patients underwent augmentation skin mastopexy (A) and the other 20 patients underwent augmentation skin-glandular mastopexy (B). Augmentation was done through implant. Breast measurements and aesthetic outcome were assessed. Results: both groups showed well improvement in breast shape, volume, and projection with no significant difference regards patient satisfaction and expectations and measurements.
