title: [Alternatives of the augmentation mammaplasty combined with breast ptosis].
abstract: Combining breast augmentation with mastopexy is a through challenge due to the difficulty of precise judgment of the tissue surplus and the necessity of keeping part of it for implant coverage. For those reasons, many authors prefer two stage procedure: augmentation with subsequent mastopexy or vice versa mastopexy with implantation of prostheses at a next stage. The present article reveals the results of one stage treatment of 98 patients with breast ptosis. Five basic techniques of mastopexy with augmentation were utilized. Very good result was registered in 85% of the cases, in another 11%--acceptable, and in 4% of the patients bad result was encountered.
