Breast Lift Procedure
A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).

- Following a poll of its BMJ readers about what information was most needed to improve the quality of care of patients in clinical practice, six topics were identified for inclusion in a series of BMJ articles on ‘making a difference.’ One of these topics is palliative care beyond cancer and is dealt with in two articles; the first by Scott Murray, St Columba’s professor of primary palliative care and Aziz Sheikh, professor of primary care research and development, notes that “the lessons learnt from palliative care for cancer need to be applied to other fatal conditions.” In the second article, Joanne Lynn, medical officer at the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services, in Baltimore states that “healthcare delivery that is tailored to the varying needs of patients with these diseases will be crucial in making a difference.”
In the first article, the authors note that in 2005, long term conditions caused 47% of deaths worldwide compared with 13% due to cancer and by 2030, the annual number of deaths around the world is expected to increase from 58 million to 74 million, with conditions related to organ failure and physical and cognitive frailty responsible for most of this increase. They question why palliative care services typically still cater only for people with cancer despite these rapid demographic changes. They conclude “facilitating a good death should be recognised as a core clinical proficiency, as basic as diagnosis and treatment. Death should be managed properly, integrating technical expertise with a humanistic and ethical orientation. We also need research into how best to identify, assess, and plan the care of all patients who are sick enough to die, and we need education that keeps alive our humanity and sense of vocation. This is an enormous challenge in politicised, market driven healthcare models but one that will make an important difference to those most in need.”
According to Joanne Lynn, “to live well in the time left to them, patients with fatal chronic conditions need confidence that their healthcare system ensures excellent medical diagnosis and treatment, prevention of overwhelming symptoms, continuity and comprehensiveness of care, advance care planning, patient centred decisions, and support for carers.” She believes that applying what has been learned from hospices and palliative care to other fatal chronic conditions could greatly improve the last part of life, although this entails substantial challenges. She discusses how reliable services can be ensured for everyone in the last phase of life, bearing in mind that there will be an increase in the number of sick and dying older people as the population ages, less support with shrinking family size and reduced retirement security.
