AB Mastopexy  is  a  cosmetic  surgical  procedure  designed  to  improve  the  appearance  of  ptotic,  or  “sagging”  breasts.  Although  a  wide  variety  of  techniques  are  available,  the  choice  of  which  one  to  use  depends  primarily  on  the  severity  of  ptosis.  In  essence,  a  mastopexy  is  a  reduction  of  the  excessive  breast  skin  envelope  without  significant  parenchymal  resection.  As  such,  approaches  to  mastopexy  have  often  mirrored  those  of  reduction  mammoplasty.  Similar  to  breast  reduction,  current  approaches  to  mastopexy  emphasize  smaller  incisions  that  result  in  less  scarring.
