Abstract
Symmastia is a difficult surgical problem to correct. Symmastia has various etiologies and can occur following reduction mammoplasty. Techniques previously described have been criticized for their limited success due to temporary results, inadequate correction, or creation of secondary deformities. In this study, we present a novel approach to correct symmastia in a patient who developed the deformity following reduction mammoplasty. The technique described uses a buried dermal pennant suture, local advancement flaps, and liposuction to correct the symmastia and improve medial breast contour. We believe this technique provides adequate and long-term correction of symmastia in the breast reduction patient and avoids the shortcomings of previously described approaches.
