Abstract
Objective: To assess the effect of non-invasive tripollar radiofrequency on breast sagging. Design: Thirty women with breast sagging aged 21 to 35 years. They were selected from outpatient clinic of plastic surgery and general surgery, ELsafwa hospital in 6th of October city.Their body mass index ranged from 25 to 34.9 kg/m². They were received 48 sessions of tripollar radiofrequency, two sessions per week for 6 successive months.Improvement was evaluated by tape measurement and a 12 inches ruler to identify breast sagging ratio before and after the treatment. Results: The obtained results showed a statistically significant decrease in the distance between infra mammary crease and nipple of the right and left sides post treatment compared with that pretreatment (p = 0.0001),The mean ± SD distance between infra mammary crease and nipple pre treatment of the right side was 3.68 ± 0.85 cm and that post treatment was 1.55 ± 0.56 cm. The mean difference between pre and post values was 2.13 cm and the percent of change was 57.88%.The mean ± SD distance between infra mammary crease and nipple pre treatment of the left side was 3.7 ± 0.82 cm and that post treatment was 1.58 ± 0.67 cm.The mean difference between pre and post values was 2.12 cm and the percent of change was 57.3% and a significant decrease in the distance between sternal notch and nipple of the right and left sides post treatment compared with that pre treatment (p = 0.0001), The mean ± SD distance between sternal notch and nipple pre treatment of the right side was 24.63 ± 2.65 cm and that post treatment was 22.43 ± 2.44 cm.
