Guidelines for safe technique and satisfying results are described: Aspects to think of concerning the choice of implant form and size, the dissection of the pocket, option of combined mastopexy, lipofilling, the closure techniques, dressing, and postoperative guidelines for the patient are explained.

Results: Analyse of breast skin and quality and specific anatomy is essential to achieve satisfying results. All these general guidelines and surgical procedures are illustrated by clinical cases with description of technical tricks. Respect of these guidelines reduce the risk of complications.
