Breast Augmentation & Mastopexy Master Class

Masterclass Description

The Breast Augmentation & Mastopexy Master Class provides a complete and advanced-level training in aesthetic breast surgery.
The curriculum focuses on implant-based augmentation, surgical lifting techniques, and combined augmentation-mastopexy approaches.

Participants will learn:

• How to analyze breast anatomy and dimensions
• How to choose the correct implant type, size, profile, and placement
• The science behind soft tissue support, ptosis correction, and skin envelope management
• How to design mastopexy incisions based on degree of ptosis
• Techniques for addressing asymmetry, tuberous breast deformities, and revisions

This masterclass emphasizes precision, safety, and long-term stability, empowering surgeons to deliver harmonious, natural, and durable breast results.

Learning Outcomes — What You Will Learn

Breast Anatomy & Surgical Assessment

• Breast quadrants, ligaments, vascular supply & innervation
• Muscle interaction in implant placement
• Skin envelope strength & laxity evaluation
• Identifying degrees of ptosis & breast deformities

Implant Selection & Planning

• Implant shapes: round & anatomical
• Implant projections & dimensions
• Gel cohesiveness & shell characteristics
• Choosing submuscular, dual-plane, subfascial, or subglandular placement
• Sizers & volume selection protocols
• Detailed preoperative marking

Breast Augmentation Techniques

• Pocket creation & dissection
• Dual-plane variations
• Subfascial augmentation
• IMF (Inframammary Fold) control & positioning
• Managing tissue stretch, upper pole fill & natural cleavage
• Enhancing projection while maintaining soft transitions

Mastopexy Techniques (Breast Lift)

• Periareolar mastopexy (Benelli)
• Vertical mastopexy (Lollipop pattern)
• Wise-pattern / Inverted-T mastopexy
• Skin pattern design based on ptosis degree
• Pedicle selection: superior, superomedial, inferior
• Correcting nipple-areolar complex position & diameter
• Redraping and shaping the lower pole

Augmentation-Mastopexy (Combined Procedure)

• When to combine vs stage the procedure
• Implant-first vs lift-first decision
• Maintaining blood supply during combined surgery
• Handling skin tension and implant support
• Predicting and preventing bottoming-out
• Managing existing scars and skin thinning

Hybrid Breast Augmentation (Fat + Implant)

• Indications for hybrid techniques
• Enhancing upper pole or cleavage with fat grafting
• Improving implant edges
• Technique for soft contour blending

Managing Breast Deformities & Asymmetries

• Tuberous breast correction principles
• Asymmetric NAC repositioning
• Correction of breast footprint deformities
• Rib cage or thoracic asymmetries & how to adjust plan

Complications & Safety Protocols

• Capsular contracture prevention & early management
• Hematoma detection & evacuation
• Implant malposition & revision strategies
• Rippling & visibility management
• Infection prevention
• Long-term implant surveillance & patient follow-up

Masterclass Objectives

By the end of this masterclass, participants will be able to:
