Abstract

The combination of the superomedial pedicle with the traditional Wise-pattern skin resection has gained increasing popularity for its versatility and ability to achieve significant reduction of breast parenchyma and skin envelope with improved contour and lasting results. Here the authors review the pertinent anatomy and discuss their surgical technique and its benefits. In addition, a retrospective chart review of 80 patients (151 breasts) who underwent superomedial pedicle Wise-pattern breast reduction between 2010 and 2014 was performed. Mean specimen weights and complication rates, including seroma, delayed wound healing, nipple loss, infection, and reoperation were calculated for the cohort.
