Popis: Hypotrophic breasts associated with ptosis is a frequent condition. The simple insertion of a prosthesis generally does not give very satisfactory results. The breast swings on the prosthesis, aggravating the ptosis in the long term. Furthermore, hypotrophy is often associated with malposition of the areola: either excessively short areolo-infra-mammary distance, less than 5 cm, or areola projected too medially or too laterally. The absence of correction of this malformation is a factor responsible for a poor aesthetic result.
