Breast Ptosis Managed by Mastopexy Using the Triple Flaps Procedure

Abstract  Breast ptosis is a highly unattractive appearance of the breast. In the mind, it is associated with aging, multiple pregnancies,

ptosis, parenchymal volume, covering tissue, quality of the tissue, pocket implant, shape and content of the implant, and
resulting scars.
