摘要

Supra-areolar lift is a surgical technique to elevate the nipple areolar complex. This is best suited for correction of nipple areola complex elevation asymmetries, and first- and possible second-degree breast ptosis. It can be combined with breast augmentation or performed following breast augmentation, or simply as a nipple areola lift. The surgical procedure involves a skin incision at the superior areolar skin junction, with undermining of the superior skin to the predetermined new nipple areolar placement. A transverse incision is made superiorly to the areola, through the breast tissue to the pectoralis. A vertical incision is made in the superior breast tissue creating an inverted T incision in the breast tissue. Breast augmentation can be done through this incision. Closure of the breast is done with a Y-V closure, elevating the breast tissue. The excessive superior skin is excised and closure is accomplished with superior circum-areolar skin closure. The surgical technique, indications, complications and pre and post examples will be shown and discussed in the presentation.
