Abstract
Macromastia is a health problem that requires the coordination of surgical and medical specialists. Goals of reduction mammaplasty are to alleviate physical, emotional and psychosocial discomforts and to restore a conical-shaped breast, maintaining scars as short as possible. We report our approach for reduction mammaplasty with superior pedicle. Our method combines advantages of round block with vertical scar, using a dermal flap that is fixed to the new mammary crease. We analyzed skin and glandular resection customizing the mammaplasty. The dermal flap works against the weight of residual tissue, maintaining the crease at the desired position with a natural result. Benefits are an excellent projection, short scar, suitable reshaping and patient satisfaction. This technique can be used for mild to severe hypertrophy with various degrees of ptosis. It results in a successful aesthetic outcome with minimal scarring, suitable breast remodeling and natural long-lasting projection.
