Elasticum suspension threads offer a lift without implants, using 8 mm and 5 mm incisions. LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland places three elastic sutures per breast without tissue undermining, which may mean less discomfort and faster recovery than classic surgery. The technique is used for first- and second-degree ptosis and can also address tuberous breasts. For added upper-pole volume, mastopexy can be combined with Polytech implants. Surgery takes place at accredited nursing homes in Lugano, Milan, and Naples.
