No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Breast lift surgery performed in combination with breast implants is a common cosmetic operation. However, there have been concerns regarding the safety of this treatment combination. Some investigators are concerned that an implant may increase the risk of complications, including loss of circulation to the nipple and areola. This study was undertaken to evaluate the blood supply of the breast using intraoperative laser fluorescent imaging and to determine whether a breast implant compromises blood supply to the nipple and areola.
