Abstract: | The ``flip-flap' mastopexy modifies the McKissock vertical bipedicle design by creating a wide superiorly based flap of
breast tissue deep to the vertical bipedicle. Transposition of this flap up and beneath the upper breast, with suture anchoring
to the pectoralis fascia at the level of the second rib, restores upper breast fullness, decreases mastopexy-wrecking lower
breast bulk, and provides a pleasant forward thrust of the nipple–areolar complex. The ``flip-flap' is effective for improving
the long-term aesthetic outcome for both reduction mammaplasty and mastopexies of moderate- to full-sized breasts. |
