Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of round block technique, Lejour technique and vertical bipedicle technique in the treatment of breast ptosis. Methods This research enrolled 67 cases of breast ptosis patients from March 2015 to February 2017 as the research objects. According to the different treatment plans, they were divided into three groups with 23 cases in round block group, 26 cases in Lejour group, and 18 cases in vertical bipedicle group. The preoperative and postoperative clinical data of the patients were compared among the three groups. Results The Vancouver scar score in the Lejour group was statistically lower than that in the round block group and the vertical bipedicle group (P < 0.05). The degree of satisfaction in the Lejour group was higher than that in the round block group and the vertical bipedicle group (P < 0.05); the complication rate in the Lejour group was lower than that in the round block group and the vertical bipedicle group, but there were no statistical differences (P > 0.05). The improvement of breast shape during the last follow-up after surgery was obvious in the three groups compared with the preoperative shape, the differences between the Lejour group and other two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The nipple areola sensation in the 3 groups at the last follow-up was not statistically different from preoperative one, and there were no significant differences among the 3 group either (P > 0.05). Conclusions In the treatment of breast ptosis, round block technique, Lejour technique and vertical bipedicle technique could improve breast symptoms and achieve breast shaping effect with low incidence of postoperative complications. The patients are satisfied. However, using Lejour technique, the postoperative breast scar is smaller, breast shape is better, the function of lactation could still be retained.
