ABSTRACT

Introducción: El instrumento Breast-Q® se ha ocupado para medir la calidad de vida de las pacientes sometidas a cirugía de aumento mamario. Se desconocen los factores que determinan la mejoría en la calidad de vida de estas pacientes. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los factores determinantes de la mejoría de la calidad de vida en pacientes sometidas a aumento mamario. Materiales y métodos: Se estudió una cohorte prospectiva de 52 pacientes sometidas a aumento mamario. Se estudiaron características sociodemográficas, mediciones antropométricas, variables relativas a la cirugía y se aplicó el instrumento Breast-Q®. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó estadística descriptiva, el test de Wilcoxon para muestras pareadas y modelos de regresión lineal y logística. Resultados: Se encontró mejoría en la calidad de vida de forma global (p < 0,00001) y en todos los dominios salvo en el de «síntomas físicos¼. Dentro de los factores determinantes, existió una relación positiva entre el volumen de la prótesis y la mejoría en la calidad de vida de forma global (p = 0,032) y en los dominios «autoimagen y autoestima¼ (p = 0,01) y «vida sexual¼ (p = 0,001). Conclusión: La cirugía de aumento mamario incrementa significativamente la calidad de vida medido mediante el instrumento Breast-Q®. Los determinantes de la mejoría en la calidad de vida estarían directamente relacionados con el volumen de la prótesis.


Introduction: Breast-Q® instrument has been used for measuring the quality of life of patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery. The factors that determine the improvement in the quality of life of these patients are unknown. The aim of this work is to identify the determinant factors of improvement in the quality of life in patients undergoing breast augmentation. Materials and methods: A prospective cohort of 52 patients undergoing breast augmentation was studied. Sociodemographic features, anthropometric measurements, variables related to surgery were studied and the Breast-Q® instrument was applied. For statistical analysis it was used descriptive statistics and linear and logistic regression models. Results: We found improvement in the quality of life, globally (P < .00001) and in all domains except "physical symptoms’ domain. Among the determining factors, there was a positive correlation between the prosthesis volume and improvement in quality of life globally (P = .032) and in the domains "self-image and self-esteem" (P = .01) and "sexual life" (P = .001). Conclusion: Breast augmentation surgery significantly increases the quality of life measured by the Breast-Q® instrument. The determinant factors of improvement in quality of life, would be directly related to the implants volume.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El instrumento Breast-Q® se ha ocupado de medir la calidad de vida de las pacientes sometidas a cirugía de reducción mamaria o mastopexia. Se desconocen los factores que determinan la mejoría en la calidad de vida de estas pacientes. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los factores determinantes de la mejoría de la calidad de vida en pacientes sometidas a reducción mamaria. Materiales y métodos: Se estudió una cohorte prospectiva de 41 pacientes sometidas a reducción mamaria o mastopexia sin implantes. Se estudiaron características sociodemográficas, mediciones antropométricas, variables relativas a la cirugía y se aplicó el instrumento Breast-Q®. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó estadística descriptiva, modelos de ecuaciones de estimación generalizada y modelos de regresión lineal y logística. Resultados: Se encontró mejoría en la calidad de vida de forma global (p < 0,0001) y por dominios. Dentro de los factores determinantes, existió una relación positiva entre la magnitud de la resección y la mejoría en la calidad de vida de forma global (p = 0,032) y en el dominio de síntomas físicos (p = 0,012). Destaca además una mejoría del 50% con resecciones de tejido mamario sobre los 300 g. Conclusión: La cirugía de reducción mamaría y mastopexia incrementan significativamente la calidad de vida medida mediante el instrumento Breast-Q® en pacientes con hipertrofia o ptosis mamaria. Los determinantes de esta mejora estarían directamente relacionados con la cantidad de tejido resecado, con una mejoría del 50% con resecciones sobre los 300 g.

The factors that determine the improvement in the quality of life of these patients are unknown. The aim of this work is to identify the determinant factors of improvement in the quality of life in patients undergoing breast reduction. Materials and methods: A prospective cohort of 41 patients undergoing breast reduction or breast lift without implants was studied. Sociodemographic features, anthropometric measurements, variables related to surgery were studied and the Breast-Q® instrument was applied. For statistical analysis it was used descriptive statistics, generalized estimating equations models and linear and logistic regression models. Results: We found improvement in the quality of life, globally (P < .0001) and per domains. Among the determining factors, there was a positive correlation between the extent of resection and improved quality of life globally (P = .032) and in the domain of physical symptoms (P = .012). Also highlights an improvement of 50% with resection of breast tissue above 300 g. Conclusion: Breast reduction and breast lift surgery significantly increases the quality of life measured by the Breast-Q® instrument in patients with breast hypertrophy or ptosis. The determinant factors of this improvement would be directly related to the amount of tissue resected, with a 50% improvement with resections above 300 g.

ABSTRACT

A síndrome de Mondor é uma tromboflebite das veias superficiais da mama, que pode levar também ao comprometimento do sistema linfático. É uma doença benigna, rara e autolimitada. JMC, 42 anos, foi submetida à cirurgia de lipoaspiração e mastopexia, evoluindo bem no pós operatório imediato e recente. A paciente parou o uso de anticoncepcionais há 5 anos e havia realizado duas cesárias prévias. A lipoaspiração foi realizada em flancos e abdome, com vibrolipoaspirador microaire; técnica tumesceste. Na cirurgia mamária com pedículo inferior não areolado, foi feita ressecção mínima de parênquima mamário no lado E (70 gr) para simetrização. Tempo cirúrgico: 3 horas, deambulando algumas horas depois da cirurgia. Medicações pós operatórias incluiram antibiótico profilático e analgésicos, que o paciente recebeu no dia seguinte à cirurgia. Compareceu a todos os retornos de pós-operatório, sem nenhuma intercorrência. Realizou 30 sessões de drenagem linfática e ultrassom, ao longo de 3 meses, e retornou as suas atividades laborais após 30 dias. Por volta de 6 meses após os procedimentos, retornou com queixa de dor e endurecimento na porção superior de hemiabdome E. Ao exame físico foi identificado aparecimento de cordão endurecido, doloroso quando realizava extensão do abdome, caracterizando a sindome de Mondor. Foi instituido terapêutica de calor local e massagem associado a antiinflamatório via oral, havendo regressão do quadro após 1 mês. O tratamento da doença de Mondor é conservador e sintomático. Calor local, repouso e analgésicos ajudam a diminuir a dor, sinal clinico característico do cordão fibroso formado em decorrência do processo tromboflebítico.


Mondor 's syndrome is a thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast, which may also lead to impairment of the lymphatic system. It is a benign disease, rare and self-limited. JMC, 42 years old, was submitted to liposuction and breast lift, doing well in the immediate and late postoperative period. The patient stopped using contraceptives for 5 years and went trough two previous caesarians. Liposuction was performed on the flanks and abdomen, with Microaire Vibroliposuction Machine; tumescent technical. In the breast surgery with inferior pedicle not areolate, minimal resection of breast parenchyma was made on the left side (70 g) for symmetrization. Surgery time: 3 hours, ambulating a few hours after surgery. Postoperative medication included prophylactic antibiotics and analgesics, which patient received the next day after surgery. The patient attended all postoperative returns without any problem. 30 sessions of lymphatic drainage and ultrasound were made over 3 months, and the patient returned to work activities after 30 days. Six months after the procedure, the patient returned complaining of pain and hardening in the upper portion of left hemi-abdomen. In the physical examination was identified a hardened cord appearance, painful when performed extension of the abdomen, featuring Mondor ' s syndrome. Was instituted local heat therapy and massage associated with oral anti-inflammatory, with regression of the condition after one month. The treatment of Mondor 's disease is conservative and symptomatic. Local heat, rest and analgesics help to relief the pain, which is a clinical sign of fibrous cord formed as a result of thrombophlebitis process.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Diferentes técnicas para mamoplastia redutora e mastopexia são descritas na literatura, visando a resultados que reconstituam o polo superior, ofereçam melhor projeção e proporcionem tratamento adequado para a ptose mamária. No entanto, devemos nos atentar para a segurança da técnica, com manutenção da vascularização, inervação dos tecidos e possibilidade de amamentação. Análise comparativa com pacientes operadas pela técnica com retalho de pedículo inferior e pacientes operadas pela técnica com sutura circular em bolsa. Métodos: Análise de 85 pacientes submetidas à mamoplastia redutora ou mastopexia sem implantes, entre janeiro de 2011 e dezembro de 2012, no Hospital de Clínicas da Unicamp. Foram excluídos 31 pacientes, as quais foram submetidas apenas à mamoplastia redutora pela técnica de Pitanguy (sem utilização de retalhos ou sutura circular). Dentre as 54 pacientes restantes, cinco foram posteriormente excluídas devido ao não comparecimento à consulta ou à não realização da ultrassonografia pós-operatória. Foram agrupadas 16 pacientes submetidas à sutura circular contínua e 33 pacientes operadas pela técnica de pedículo inferior. Resultados: Dados demográficos foram semelhantes nos dois grupos. Maior número de pequenas complicações e resultados insatisfatórios foi observado no grupo submetido à técnica de pedículo inferior, bem como maior índice de achados ultrassonográficos relevantes no pós-operatório. Conclusão: A técnica de sutura circular contínua apresentou elevado índice de satisfação, menor número de complicações e resultados mais duradouros quando comparados com a técnica de pedículo inferior, durante o período analisado.


Introduction: Several reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy techniques are described in the literature, with the aim of reconstituting the upper pole, offering better projection, and providing adequate treatment for breast ptosis. However, particular attention should be devoted to the safety of the technique, with maintenance of vascularization, tissue innervation, and the capability of breastfeeding. Female patients operated on with the inferior pedicle flap technique were compared with those operated on with purse-string circular suturing. Methods: Eighty-five patients who had undergone reduction mammoplasty or mastopexy without implants, between January 2011 and December 2012 at Unicamp's Clinical Hospital, were evaluated. Thirty-one patients who only underwent reduction mammoplasty by Pitanguy's technique (without the use of flaps or circular sutures) were excluded. Of the remaining 54 patients, five were subsequently excluded for not attending medical appointments or failure to have postoperative ultrasonography. A group of 16 patients who had undergone circular suturing and a group of 33 operated on by the inferior pedicle technique were considered. Results: Demographic data were similar for both groups. A higher number of minor complications and unsatisfactory results were observed in the group that underwent the inferior pedicle technique, who also had a higher rate of relevant post-operative ultrasonography events. Conclusion: The circular suturing technique resulted in a high satisfaction rate, lower number of complications, and longer lasting results than the inferior pedicle technique, during the period analyzed in this study.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Após perda ponderal maciça, as pacientes apresentam alterações mamárias, como flacidez, ptose em graus variados e polo superior vazio. Diferentes técnicas de mamoplastia são empregadas para dar forma ao cone mamário e reposicionar o complexo aréolo-papilar (CAP). Neste trabalho, avaliamos diferentes abordagens cirúrgicas preenchendo as necessidades de cada caso. MÉTODO: Vinte e cinco pacientes submetidas à gastroplastia antes da mamoplastia foram analisadas. As técnicas utilizadas foram (1) mastopexia sem prótese e retalho inferior; (2) mastopexia sem prótese e pedículo areolado inferior; (3) mastopexia com prótese com cobertura pelo retalho inferior; (4) mastopexia com prótese com plicatura de retalhos cruzados (jaquetão). RESULTADOS: A média do IMC antes da mamoplastia foi de 26,6 (variando de 21,6 a 31,2). Todas as pacientes submetidas à cirurgia consideraram o resultado bom ou ótimo. Em avaliação por observador cego às técnicas empregadas, os resultados foram considerados bons com relação à forma da mama, correção da ptose e preenchimento do polo superior. Uma paciente submetida à mastopexia com prótese com retalhos cruzados apresentou seroma e contratura capsular subsequente, necessitando capsulectomia. Oito pacientes apresentaram deiscências: sete, na junção dos retalhos cutâneos no sulco inframamário, e uma na vertical, unilateralmente, resolvidas por cicatrização por segunda intenção. Não houve caso de necrose ou epiteliólise do CAP. CONCLUSÃO: Empregando-se diferentes técnicas de mamoplastia, individualizadas caso a caso, foram obtidos resultados agradáveis, alcançando satisfação das pacientes. Fatores, como distância fúrcula-papila, necessidade de elevação do CAP, volume mamário pré-mamoplastia e desejo de aumento de volume pela paciente, influenciam a escolha da técnica cirúrgica.


INTRODUCTION: After massive weight loss, patients present with various mammary changes, such as sagging, different grades of ptosis, and empty upper pole. Different mammoplasty techniques are used to shape the mammary cone and to reposition the nipple-areolar complex (NAC). In this study, we evaluate how different surgical approaches can satisfy the requirements of each patient. METHOD: Twenty-five patients who underwent mammoplasty following gastroplasty were analyzed. The mammoplasty techniques used were (1) mastopexy without implant with inferior flap; (2) mastopexy without implant with inferior areolar pedicle; (3) mastopexy with implant and coverage by inferior flap; (4) mastopexy with implant and plication of cross flaps (jacket procedure). RESULTS: The average body mass index (BMI) before mammoplasty was 26.6 (ranging from 21.6 to 31.2). All patients who underwent this surgery rated the outcome obtained as good or great. In an evaluation carried out by an observer unaware of the techniques employed, the results obtained were considered to be satisfactory for breast shape, correction of breast ptosis, and filling of the upper pole. One patient who underwent mastopexy with implants and cross flaps developed seroma and subsequent capsular contracture, which required capsulectomy. Eight patients developed unilateral dehiscence: seven at the junction of skin flap in the inframammary fold, and one vertically, which were resolved with healing by secondary intention. No cases of necrosis or NAC epitheliosis were observed. CONCLUSION: Using different mammoplasty techniques, which were personalized and analyzed on a case-by-case basis, good outcomes and a high level of patient satisfaction were achieved. Various factors, such as the furcula-papilla distance, the need to lift the NAC, pre-mammoplasty breast volume and the patient's desire to increase breast volume, influence the choice of the surgical technique.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A cirurgia de mastopexia associada ao aumento mamário vem sendo cada vez mais solicitada. Ao mesmo tempo, pacientes com graus menores de ptose aceitam menos as correções por meio de cicatrizes verticais. Nesse contexto, a mastopexia periareolar (circum-areolar) com implante cônico é uma opção que resulta em cicatriz limitada ao perímetro areolar e possibilita o tratamento das alterações de posição e tamanho do complexo aréolo-papilar. MÉTODO: Foram avaliadas 22 pacientes, submetidas à mastopexia periareolar com utilização de próteses cônicas, revestidas com poliuretano, colocadas em posição subglandular e operadas pelo mesmo cirurgião. RESULTADOS: Dados observados: 45% das pacientes apresentavam ptose grau I; 32%, grau II, e 23%, grau III; 86% das pacientes apresentavam assimetria do complexo aréolo-papilar; 27%, lateralização, e 18%, aréolas grandes, havendo associações na mesma paciente. O volume das próteses variou de 215 mL a 380 ml. Houve dois casos de alargamento da cicatriz, mas não houve casos de alargamento de aréola ou cicatriz hipertrófica. Não houve, no período pesquisado, complicações relacionadas à colocação do implante. No questionário de satisfação, a maioria das pacientes considerou o aspecto da mama natural, conferindo boas notas aos aspectos: formato, simetria e altura das mamas, qualidade da cicatriz e posição, formato e tamanho das aréolas. CONCLUSÕES: A técnica permite resultados satisfatórios nos casos indicados, como ptoses leves a moderadas, aréolas grandes, lateralização e assimetria do complexo aréolo-papilar. São aspectos técnicos importantes: a retirada conservadora de pele periareolar, o uso de implantes de tamanhos moderados e a confecção da sutura de contenção em round-block.


INTRODUCTION: Mastopexy surgery associated with breast augmentation is increasingly being requested. At the same time, patients with lower degrees of ptosis are less receptive to any correction through vertical scars. In this context, periareolar (circumareolar) mastopexy with a conical implant is an option that results in a scar that is limited to the areolar perimeter, and enables the treatment of changes in the position and size of the nipple-areola complex. METHOD: We evaluated 22 patients submitted to periareolar mastopexy with use of conical prostheses coated with polyurethane and placed in a subglandular position. All patients were operated on by the same surgeon. RESULTS: Among the patients, 45% presented with grade I ptosis, 32% grade II, and 23% grade III, and 86% exhibited asymmetry of the nipple-areola complex, 27% lateralization, and 18% large areolas, with some combination in the same patient. The volume of the prostheses ranged from 215 to 380 mL. There were two cases of scar enlargement; however, there were no cases of enlargement of the areola or hypertrophic scar. During the period studied, there were no complications related to the placement of the implant. In the satisfaction questionnaire, most of the patients considered the aspect of the breast to be natural in appearance, giving good grades to the size, symmetry, and height of the breasts; the quality of the scar; and the position, shape, and size of the areolas. CONCLUSIONS: This technique produces satisfactory results in cases of mild to moderate ptoses, large areolas, lateralization, and asymmetry of the nipple-areola complex. Important technical aspects include the conservative removal of periareolar skin, use of implants of moderate sizes, and the use of the round-block containment suture.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Este trabalho apresenta a possibilidade de tratamento cirúrgico das alterações de posicionamento mamário nos sentidos ântero-posterior, crânio-caudal e látero-medial.Método: A técnica utilizada baseia-se na correção das estruturas ligamentares que são a base da fixação, sustentação e estática de todo o conjunto mamário, ou seja, a cápsula mamária (ligamento de Giraldés) e seus prolongamentos (ligamentos de Cooper). Para o tratamento das estruturas ligamentares e aréolas é realizado primariamente a ressecção do excesso de pele areolar, peri-areolar e infra-areolar, nas porções epidérmicas e parcialmente dérmicas, baseado no excedente de pele preexistente nestas regiões, associado ao excedente provocado após o reposicionamento adequado das estruturas ligamentares. Conclusão: Esta técnica é pouco traumática aos tecidos mamários glandulares e gordurosos, não acarreta alteraçõesfuncionais e/ou sensitivas, tem baixa complexidade, facilidade e rapidez na execução, podendo ser realizada ambulatorialmente, com anestesia local associada à sedação, aliada a resultados estéticos satisfatórios.


Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to present a technique for the surgical treatment of the changes in breast positioning, either in the anteroposterior, cephalocaudal ormediolateral directions. Methods: This surgical technique mainly consists of strengthening the ligaments, including the breast capsule (Giraldés's ligament) and its attachments (Cooper's ligaments), which are responsible for supporting and suspending the breast. For that purpose, it is necessary to resect the excess areolar, periareolar and infraerolar skin, both on epidermic and partially dermic levels, as observed before surgery. After the proper repositioning of the ligaments, we then proceed to the resection of the remaining measured excess of skin in these areas. Conclusion: This technique is less traumatic to the mammary gland and the fat tissue, and produces good aesthetic results with no functional or sensibility changes. It can be easily and quickly performed, even in ambulatory surgery, using local anesthesia and sedation.

ABSTRACT

A ptose mamária é um distúrbio estético caracterizado pela descida da mama por relaxamento de seus meios de sustentação. Como fenômeno de impactos psicossociais relevantes em nosso meio, o tratamento adequadotorna-se fundamental para o restabelecimento das pacientes afetadas. Para isso, é importante o uso de graduações válidas e precisas que possibilitem um diagnóstico correto. Seis classificações de ptose mamária foram encontradas por meio de um pesquisa eletrônica nas bases de dados LILACS e MEDLINE, no períodode 1951 até 2008. Após análise de cada uma, foi concluído que se faz necessário um estudo bem conduzido, de base populacional, que objetive a validação e a comparação das classificações disponíveis de ptose mamária.


The mammary ptosis is an unaesthetic disorder characterized by the sagging of the breast caused by stretching of supporting tissues. As phenomenon of important psychosocial impacts in our environment, the appropriate treatment is essential for the affected patients’ re-establishment. For that, it is important the use of valid and reliable standards that facilitate the correct diagnosis. Six classifications of mammary ptosis were found by an electronic search in LILACS and MEDLINE in the period between 1951 and 2008. After analysis, we concluded that it’s necessary a good population-based study to validate and compare the available classifications of mammary ptosis.

ABSTRACT

A cirurgia mamária sofreu grandes modificações nos últimos anos, visando a diminuição das cicatrizes e a melhora e manutenção da sua forma, no pós ope- ratório tardio. Empregando-se a filosofia da técnica periareolar à técnica de cicatriz vertical, podemos reduzir o comprimento da cicatriz, evitando o seu prolongamento abaixo do sulco submamário e compensando o excesso de pele em torno da aréola. No período de março de 2001 a julho de 2002, 53 pacientes foram submetidas à mamaplastia redutora e/ou mastopexia utilizando-se a técnica de cicatriz vertical associado ao retalho de parede torácica mantido sob uma alça de músculo peitoral maior. O objetivo da utilização da combinação destas duas técnicas foi o de proporcionar um bom resultado sob o ponto de vista estético: cicatriz reduzida, báscula mínima e preenchimento do pólo superior mamário.


Breast surgery has been greatly modified in the past few years looking for shortening of scars and improvement and maintenance of breast shape in the late post-operative period. Working with the philosophy of periareolar technique and vertical scar technique altogether, its possible to reduce scar length, avoiding the area below the inframammary crease by compensating skin excess around the areola. From March 2001 to July 2002, 53 patients were submitted to reduction mammaplasty and/or mastopexy with vertical scar technique associated to the chest wall based flap kept under a bipedicled flap of pectoralis major muscle. The goal of this combination is to achieve a good result under the aesthetic view: reduced scar, minimal breast descent and good upper pole fullness.
