ISAPS: Congratulations on your recent award! Can you tell us about the key points from your presentation?
BISTONI: Thank you very much! It is all about achieving long-term stability of the lower pole after augmentation mastopexy. Following the new trend of placing the implant above the muscular plane and using smooth implants to minimize the implant-induced inflammatory response, it becomes necessary to provide the breast tissue with extra support to overcome the poor tissue quality typically present in ptotic breasts. The device I use is a re-absorbable scaffold that integrates virtually immediately with the breast tissue, holding it in place and maintaining tensile strength throughout the entire scarring period. Eventually, it reabsorbs completely, leaving no remnants. Furthermore, the mastopexy technique allows you to reduce tension on the scars, ensuring reliable and safe results with a low complication rate. In this way, the patient has the possibility of experiencing a fast, safe, and predictable recovery from surgery.

ISAPS: Having attended multiple ISAPS Congresses, what key factors motivate you to consistently choose ISAPS meetings?
BISTONI: ISAPS meetings are always great meetings, participants have the opportunity to visit incredible places immersed in a unique social and scientific environment. Great surgeons from all over the world gather to share knowledge and exchange ideas, and this ensures that professional growth is outstanding due to the possibility of seeing and thinking about concepts through a thousand different facets and points of view! Not to mention the fact that you can meet and come into contact with great professionals who will eventually become great friends!

ISAPS: The next ISAPS World Congress, scheduled for 2026, will take place in Cancun, Mexico. What are you looking forward to most?
BISTONI: The venue is wonderful; I am sure that the turnout will be massive, and the organizers of the Congress will respond greatly, far exceeding expectations! Science, friends, and fun, what else could you possibly look for?
