Abstract



Background


The escalating trend in obesity is having major impact on health and the economy. As a result of NHS policies to reduce obesity, the number of patients losing weight following bariatric surgery is increasing rapidly. In addition to the systemic benefits to their general health, dramatic weight loss leads to marked changes in body habitus, with many patients seeking further “aesthetic” surgery to improve their appearance. We present our technique of autologous augmentation-mastopexy to address the problems of both skin excess and insufficient breast volume.
