Abstract
Planning a combined procedure requires ensuring an optimal fill of the reduced breast skin envelope, which in turn requires a system to quantify skin excess to ensure that the selected implant achieves that optimal fill. This has led us to develop a five-step approach that a surgical team can use to assess patients scheduled to undergo an augmentation mastopexy and arrive at an optimal surgical strategy.
