Augmentation Mastopexy: A Personalized Technique on 200 Patients.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAugmentation mastopexy is a complex and technically demanding procedure that addresses breast ptosis and volume deficiency simultaneously. It requires careful planning, precise surgical techniques, and customization to each patient's anatomical and esthetic characteristics. Consistent outcomes remain a challenge due to the interplay between implant placement, tissue reshaping, and long-term stability.
methodsThis study describes a tailored mastopexy technique implemented in 200 patients. Preoperative planning included comprehensive clinical assessments and precise skin markings. Implant selection was individualized based on patient morphology and esthetic goals. A dual-plane pocket dissection was employed to optimize implant positioning and achieve natural outcomes. Advanced tissue management strategies were used to maintain vascular integrity and ensure long-term stability. Emphasis was placed on achieving symmetry and minimizing complications such as capsular contracture, implant malposition, or the "waterfall effect."
resultsOutcomes were evaluated in terms of esthetic results, complication rates, and patient satisfaction over a follow-up period of 12 to 36 months. High satisfaction (92%) was reported, with consistently natural and harmonious outcomes. The complication rate was low: Implant malposition occurred in 3% of cases and capsular contracture in 2.5%. No significant vascular compromise or severe wound healing issues were observed.
conclusionThe personalized mastopexy technique demonstrates efficacy in achieving esthetically pleasing and durable outcomes with a low rate of complications. By integrating individualized planning, precise surgical execution, and advanced tissue management, this method offers a reliable framework for ptosis correction and volume enhancement in esthetic breast surgery.
