A technique using a posteriorly based dermoglandular flap as an augmentation of the superior hemisphere of the breast combined with a periareolar mastopexy and vertical mastopexy is presented. The advantages of combining a periareolar mastopexy, in terms of reducing the length of the vertical scar and preventing areolar distortion, are explained.

Once the implant is inserted, I could determin...

The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility of periareolar injection of the contrast agent Sonazoid (SNZ) followed by ultrasonography (US) for the identification of sentinel lymph node (SLN) in breast cancer patients with clinically negative node. Patients (n = 100) with T1-2N0M0 breast cancer received a periareolar injection of SNZ followed by US to identify contrast-enha...
