Triple-Plane Structural Preservation Mammoplasty with Implant Integration for Grade I—III Ptosis Correction

Abstract

Aim. To assess the effectiveness of triple-plane structural preservation mammoplasty in correcting grade I—III ptosis with breast implants.Methods. This study comprised 40 women aged 24 to 46 who underwent breast ptosis correction. The patients were divided into two groups of 20 each: the main group underwent the triple-plane technique, while the comparison group received standard ptosis correction methods (periareolar, vertical, and inverted T-shaped mastopexy).Results: Employing the triple-plane technique for correcting breast ptosis led to a 1.4-fold reduction in pain intensity to 5 ± 1 points (p ≤ 0.05), a 2.5-fold decrease in exudation duration (drain removal) to 18 ± 2 hours (p ≤ 0.05), a 2-fold reduction in hospitalization time to 23 ± 2 hours (p ≤ 0.05), and allowed for the transition to soft fiatives by the 14th day of the postoperative period.Conclusion. Triple-plane structural preservation mammoplasty for correcting grade I—III ptosis with breast implants proves highly effective. It preserves the mammary gland’s ligamentous structure, reduces complication rates, and restores glandular shape without requiring incisions on the lower pole and nipple-areolar region skin. This results in improved aesthetic outcomes and enhances patients’ quality of life.
