title: Managing Complications in Vertical Mammaplasty.
abstract: In this paper, we describe our experience with the Lejour vertical scar mammaplasty from its description throughout 25 years of practice. Our work aims to focus on reducing vertical scar mammaplasty complications by examining results, studying how to avoid unfavorable consequences, and providing new tips to improve the technique and shorten its learning curve. Complications can be related to patient characteristics and habits, but adhering to a strict surgical protocol is essential to limit other factors. The importance of recognizing and being able to manage the complications is mandatory to have a successful final result and a satisfied patient.
