Breast surgery is changing from a purely resectional specialty to one in which aesthetic outcomes are becoming increasingly important. Breast conservation surgery has moved beyond ablation to techniques that maintain or improve breast shape. Knowledge and surgical skills, traditionally the remit of plastic surgeons, are crucial to the success of these new techniques and are being adopted and adapted by a new breed of oncoplastic surgeons. Professional boundaries are becoming blurred as new breast surgeons are trained both oncologically and in plastic surgery. Breast surgeons have welcomed the opportunity for interface training but plastic surgery trainees are underrepresented in applications and successful appointment to oncoplastic fellowships. This article aims to summarise the development of breast surgery as a separate specialty and how improved training, financial pressures and the attitudes of surgeons may influence the future of oncoplastic surgery.

Mastopexy and mastopexy-augmentation are commonly performed surgeries to lift ptotic breasts while improving breast shape and volume. Factors that cause breast ptosis include aging, hormonal changes, and weight loss. Common surgical approaches for mastopexy utilize the periareolar, vertical, and wise techniques. All of these techniques incorporate parenchymal rearrangement in addition to skin envelope resection in order to achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals. A plastic surgeon should carefully select the appropriate mastopexy technique based on a patient’s preoperative grade of ptosis, breast shape/volume, and aesthetic goals. Many of these mastopexy techniques can be combined with implant augmentation, either as a single or two-stage procedure in appropriate patients with volume concerns. Revisions tend to be more common after implant-augmentations and may be necessary based on patient concerns and surgeon discretion.  This review contains 5 figures, 5 tables, and 14 references Keywords: mastopexy, mastopexy-augmentation, breast lift, breast ptosis, vertical mastopexy, periareolar mastopexy, wise pattern mastopexy, breast surgery
