Abstract: | A 48-year-old female patient presented with gigantomastia. The sternal notch-nipple distance was 55 cm for the right breast
and 50 cm for the left. Vertical mammaplasty based on the superior pedicle was performed. The resected tissue weighed 3400 g
for the right breast and 2800 g for the left breast. The outcome was excellent with respect to symmetry, shape, size, residual
scars, and sensitivity of the nipple-areola complex. Longer pedicles or larger resections were not found in the literature
on vertical mammaplasty applications. In our opinion, by using the vertical mammaplasty technique in gigantomastia it is possible
to achieve a well-projecting shape and preserve NAC sensitivity. |
