Breast capsulopexy for capsular ptosis after augmentation mammaplasty.
A simple and reliable technique of capsulopexy is presented. A total of six inferiorly displaced inframammary folds were thus corrected during the past 8 years with good results and with an average of 3.2 years of follow-up. It is felt that this method is simple, reliable, and easier than other techniques previously reported in the literature.
