Why aren't there more MDs using the new Breast Lift technique with a mesh?

September 2, 2014
Asked By:Pattymia in Miami, FL

For the past few days I have researched different bl techniques. My favorite is a technique where an incision is made around the areola, the extra skin is removed, a mesh is placed under/over (unsure where) the breast, and the pt is closed up. This procedure leaves less scaring and the breast lift is aided by the mesh. Why don't more MDs perform this? opinions/feed back please. Do you feel the mesh is safe? Would the mesh eventually cause pain/irritation like it does in hernia repair?
