or lactation potential nor were either of these modalities compared to a control group. A larger sample with
longer follow up along with quantitative and qualitative assessment of these modalities will be the way for-
ward to establish and quantify increased blood supply, better venous return, improved lymphatic drainage,
quality and degree of sensation and lactation potential.

In conclusion, early results of single-stage augmentation with mastopexy have shown that the design of this
technique carries a greater potential of conserving physiological function with added safety to nipple circu-
lation, sensation and venous drainage. Selection of incision for skin removal based on preoperative NAC to
IMC measurements increases the potential to bring harmony in breast parameters.
