Breast ptosis is characterized by an inferior descent of the nipple relative to the breast fold and lower pole skin redundancy. Initial patient evaluation focuses on determining their expectations, identifying risk factors for surgical correction, and assessing breast anatomy. Various surgical approaches can be used to correct breast ptosis, with specific indications and nuances accompanying each technique. Assessing breast ptosis severity and selecting appropriate mastopexy techniques are essential to achieving excellent surgical results and high patient satisfaction. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of breast ptosis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team during the initial assessment, treatment, and postoperative recovery of patients.
