A Prospective Study on Helium-Based Plasma Radiofrequency for Minimally Invasive Breast Lift Scarless Mastopexy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although mastopexy addresses breast ptosis, not all patients are willing or able to undergo surgery. Helium plasma radiofrequency (RF) is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional excisional breast lift surgery for mild-to-moderate breast ptosis.

Objectives

To assess the efficacy and safety of helium plasma RF for minimally invasive mastopexy.

Methods

In this single-center prospective study, 15 patients were treated with helium plasma RF. Before and after photographs were assessed by blinded review 180 days postprocedure. Morphometric analysis and evaluations using investigator- and patient-assessed Global Aesthetic Improvement Scales (I-GAIS and P-GAIS, respectively) were carried out on posttreatment Days 30, 90, and 180. On Day 180, patients complet
