Abstract

Background: Breast augmentation in 2019 was the first among the top five cosmetic surgical procedures performed worldwide, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It is not only the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery, but also the aesthetic procedure with the highest reoperation rate.

Methods: A retrospective observational study of 306 female patients who underwent secondary breast surgery, with a follow-up of at least 1 year after surgery, from 2010 to 2020 is presented. For patients'selection, we decided to include all patients who performed a secondary breast surgery for aesthetic reasons; only patients with history of previous radiotherapy were excluded.

Results: Patients were divided into different groups according to the performed procedure (the six winning moves) and associated postoperative outcomes are shown.

Conclusions: The aim of this paper, based on authors' own experience, is to present a personalized approach to secondary breast reshaping, describing the six "winning" moves to apply, which, differently combined among each other, intend to address each specific cause of reintervention with a dedicated surgical procedure.
