Abstract: | The ideal reduction mammaplasty technique should create a pleasing breast shape with minimal scarring. The long and conspicuous
scar associated with the classic inverted ``T' pattern mammaplasty techniques are not acceptable for many patients. Periareolar
mammaplasty techniques cause less scarring, but they have major disadvantages such as scar widening, areolar distortion, and
insufficient breast projection. We used a new pattern for vertical mammaplasty to overcome the insufficient breast projection
caused by the round block technique and applied it to 51 patients during the last 3 years. This method results in a single
vertical scar and a periareolar scar, allows sufficient volume reduction, and provides good breast shape and projection; the
results are durable. This procedure is safe, causes few complications, and is easy to learn and perform. |
