Technique de reconstitution des piliers du sein au cours des mammoplasties

Abstract

The reconstruction of the 2contiguous breast pillars during a mammoplasty for reduction or treatment of ptosis represents an essential time to define a satisfactory breast curve, to avoid sub-mammary disunions postoperatively, and to contribute to the projection of the nipple areola thus stabilized. The pillars of the breast are the two glandular and fatty columns of segment III of the breast; these pillars have a variable thickness according to the habits of the surgeon but also according to the density of the gland and the residual fat that the practitioner chooses to keep to reformat the breast. Their repair or creation is essential to obtain a nice breast curve and long-term stability.
