[The use of implants in ptosis, hypertrophic and breast deformities].
Breast precise analysis, due to a partial or global diformity, total or minor tuberous breast allows an interesting appreciation of the skin and gland importance in breast modifications. This same analysis enables us to consider the ptosis and hypertrophies under a different angle. Thus, the relative proportions in between the various segments, their evolution in the time and especially the glandular distribution mode, sometimes leads to a different technical approach. To ensure a better glandular distribution, an important factor of the breast stability, the use of a mastopexy, which everyone knows the limits, appears under a new light and, more often than one thought, the use of a breast implant ensures homogeneity of consistency and a more long term result. Concerning the various skin modifications, their specific analysis permit to establish the type of incision used for a better-adapted scar result. The approach we suggest, (detailed analytic study of the breast, glandular distribution, relative proportion of the different breast levels and a more frequent use of an implant) which in any case should not be systematic, can obviously in certain situation optimize the quality of the result (long term projection and a better stability of the mammary shape).
