Aesthetic breast surgery: emerging trends and technologies.
The principle subdivisions of aesthetic breast surgery are: breast augmentation, mastopexy (breast lift), and reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction). In each of these subdivisions, emerging new technologies and trends have potential to change the management of specific aesthetic problems of the breast. Given the continued increasing popularity of aesthetic breast surgery, an understanding of these newer developments will assist all practitioners in communicating with their patients and colleagues.
