Abstract
- At our department, the authors performed a periareolar mastopexy and harvested costal cartilage for use in a rhinoplasty through the same periareolar incision. This technique has several advantages compared to the traditional method, including less invasion, minimal chance of a hypertrophic scar and easier postoperative care. However, the location of the incision determines that the fifth costal cartilage is the lowest one accessible. Thus, calcification of the implant material poses a challenge to surgeons.In this case report, the authors present a 25-year-old female with a low-profile nose and mild breast ptosis who received a periareolar mastopexy and a dorsal and nasal tip augmentation simultaneously. The operation method, outcomes, advantages and potential risks are included.
