Abstract: | Since its introduction, reduction mammoplasty has undergone a process of evolution and improvement that affects its three surgical goals: (1) safe transposition of the nipple-areola complex, (2) sufficient reduction of volume, and (3) aesthetically acceptable results. Unfortunately, most reduction mammoplasty techniques still result in a long transverse scar on the chest wall which often presents a problem, particularly a hypertrophic condition. In 1957 Arie proposed a vertical scar technique for mastopexy; recently Lassus, Marchac, Peixoto, d'Angieri Basile, and others reported their original methods that try to reduce the length of the transverse scar. We modified these previously proposed techniques and present our experiences with a reduction mammoplasty called the short submammary scar (S-S-S) technique. |
