Bipedicled and structured mammoplasty “in three pillars”

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Reduction mammoplasty has a long and established history. Since the end of the 19^th century, numerous techniques for reducing and elevating breast tissue have been described, seeking the best aesthetic result and greater safety in relation to areolar vascularization and innervation. The purpose of the present study is to describe a new bipedicled and structured mammoplasty technique: safe, reproducible, with a fast-learning curve and predictable esthetic results.

Methods:

From January 2015 to August 2021, 86 patients underwent surgical treatment of mammoplasty using the technique in question. The analysis of the cases was carried out retrospectively through the evaluation of medical records and review of pre and postoperative photographs.

Results:

The support and projection achieved were lasting results. There were no hematomas or necrosis of the nipple-areola complex or other areas.

Conclusion:

The technique has high reproducibility, easy execution, high applicability and versatility, extremely satisfactory aesthetic and functional results for surgeon and patient, and above all, a high degree of safety.
