| Abstract: | As its name indicates, dome mastopexy is a simple procedure in which a sliver of skin, in a shape of a dome or crescent, is excised to lift a ptotic breast (Fig. 27.1). Some authors describe this technique as a crescent mastopexy; “dome” and “crescent” terms are interchangeable, however. This procedure is simple and easy to learn. It is applicable to tumors in the central or upper quadrants of the breast, particularly for lesions located in the 12:00 o’clock axis. I have not applied this technique to resect lower quadrant breast lesions. The dome mastopexy procedure may be performed with different extensions either for extended exposures or to excise laterally or medially located tumors. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2013, 2019 |
