About this study

Official title: Seri Surgical Scaffold (TM) Support of the Lower Pole of the Breasts in Augmentation Mastopexy or Breast Reduction Patients

Will the use of an FDA approved highly purified silk scaffold; Seri Surgical Scaffold help shape and hold the breast up on the chest preventing re-stretching and bottoming out of the breast in breast reduction or augmentation-mastopexy patients? The amount of stretch will be measured manually as well as percent of breast tissue measured with the Canfield Vectra 3-D Imaging system reporting the amount of breast tissue above and below the nipple level.

Read the detailed description

Patients having augmentation mastopexy or breast reduction will be informed about Seri Scaffold and allowed to have Seri support included in their surgery or not. If the choose the scaffold will be placed under the skin in the lower pole of the breast as an internal hammock to help take weight off of the breast and potentially help prevent future stretch of the lower pole.
