BACKGROUND Many young women are satisfied with their large breasts but suffer from sagging due to heaviness. In this article; we present a novel modification of vertical scar breast reduction based on a special indication. METHODS From January 2006 to May 2012, twenty five individual patients underwent operation using modified technique with superior pedicle and vertical scar. Young women bet...

A modification of the keyhole pattern for reduction mammaplasty and mastopexy is presented. An inframammary dome with a 3-cm diameter and 6 cm base is inserted on the inframammary fold. The authors believe that this modification reduces the incidence of vertical incision separation and minimizes later " bottoming out " of the surgically reduced/lifted breast. Breast reduction and mastopexy are ...

Background: Patients who experience major weight loss may have pronounced breast ptosis, loss of projection of the higher pole, and excessive tissue in the lateral thorax. Rubin & Khachi described a mastopexy technique with dermal suspension and parenchymal remodeling associated with augmentation with autologous tissue. This technique treats the mammary deformity and the excessive tissue in the...

Purpose: Doughnut mastopexy lumpectomy (DML) is a breast resection technique in which a tissue segment is removed and the breast reshaped through a doughnut-shaped de-epithelialized periareolar area. In this study, we attempted to determine whether the DML technique could be useful for other types of breast surgery, in addition to breast cancer lumpectomy. Methods: This study examined a total o...

Breast augmentation mastopexy is a common procedure in cosmetic plastic surgery. Augmentation has proven to be relatively safe operation, but surgeons should aware of and able cope with disastrous complications such as soft tissue necrosis nipple loss. The most important consideration breast reconstruction the recovery shape symmetry, well maintenance nipple-areolar complex without any complica...

Building on the work of others who have advocated securing breast tissue to adjacent structures to achieve better projection, the author presents a technique that eliminates the lateral axillary roll deformity while using this tissue to augment breast volume-a particular advantage in the patient with massive weight loss. The procedure, although requiring a longer operating time and resulting in...
