New Technique for Breast Lift

In one of my earlier blogs, I wrote about the Aptos facelift innovation by the Russian plastic surgeon, Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze. At the 9th International Congress of the Oriental Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sulamanidze demonstrated the breast lift using the Aptos technique.

During the live surgery demonstration at the Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, Dr. Sulamanidze showed us how sagging breasts can be lifted using the Aptos suture suspension technique. Four Aptos 2-0 polypropylene sutures are placed 2 cm deep in the breast tissue and are threaded around the clavicle bone in order to mechanically lift sagging breasts.

The advantage of this technique is that it avoids the vertical or T-shaped scars below the nipple-areola complex in conventional breast lift or mastopexy operations. This is a major benefit for patients who are afraid of getting scars around their breasts.
