Reduction mammaplasty combining a superomedial pedicle with a circumareolar/vertical pattern skin excision avoids an inferior pedicle that can interfere with vertical scar technique, yet it is flexible enough to allow for a short transverse skin excision. This technique is suitable for small to moderate-size reductions.

BACKGROUND Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive breast growth and can be physically and psychosocially disabling for the patient. Regarding management of gigantomastia, this study evaluates the outcomes of superomedial pedicle with vertical scar or wise pattern skin excision. METHODS A total of 425 patients who underwent reduction mammoplasty in our institution were re...

DEAR EDITOR Superomedial pedicle reduction mammaplasty has become the most preferred technique in our clinic. While performing the technique, the surgeon can predict the final breast volume and shape, as well as limit sensation loss of the nipple-areola complex (NAC).1 Another advantage of this procedure is the improved long-term projection of the breast. Moreover, the technique obtains younger...

Many variations can be applied to traditional mammoplasty techniques to improve outcomes in certain situations. The purpose of this report was to demonstrate the indications and benefits of mammoplasty autoaugmentation using an extended superomedial pedicle. All patients who underwent transfer of an extended superopedicleto other parts of the breast for autoaugmentation were included. Indicatio...

Background: One-stage treatment of breast ptosis with hypomastia using mastopexy techniques combined with breast augmentation is often believed to have the potential for more serious complications than when the procedures are performed separately. However, available data show that the incidence of complications associated with the combined treatment is similar to that of both procedures perform...

Abstract Background Accurate knowledge of breast arterial supply on individual basis is crucial prior to reduction surgery minimize the risk post-operative necrosis nipple-areola complex which a well reported complication. The purpose this cross-sectional study was test ability multislice CT angiography delineate dominant facilitate accurate pedicle selection improve patient outcome. Results Tw...
