Abstract

Widespread adoption of barbed suture usage in aesthetic
procedures has been noticeable in the recent years. The use
of barbed sutures in breast lift procedures during augmentation
mastopexy is not new but needs more support in the literature.
In this case series, we describe 15 surgeries of such with
minimal complication rates and high satisfaction rates among
surgeons and patients; this supports the usage of such an
adjunct in augmentation mastopexy and endorses their safety
