A Simple Device for Marking the Areola in Lejourʼs Mammaplasty

The Goniometer Device: Special Equipment Designed for Symmetric Mammoplasty Planning and Photo-Symmetry Analysis Technique

“…Paloma et al 7 developed a modified metal caliper for marking in Lejour’s mammoplasty. This device features width adjustability of the pedicle base, but it is unable to perform measurements and axis correction.…”

“…A wider pedicle base also increases the nervous supply to the nipple. 7 After determining the sternal notch and new nipple level, all markings are carried out using TG in all types of reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy procedures.…”

The Sitting, Oblique, and Supine Marking Technique for Reduction Mammaplasty and Mastopexy

“…Multiple devices have been created to facilitate marking, including templates, keyhole patterns, goniometers, and others. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The standard pattern with a fixed angle of 110 degrees between the two segments was further modified by McKissock 9 to allow for adjustment of the angle to the widely variable breast shapes. The Wise keyhole pattern marking is influenced by the surgeon's experience.…”

Its pliability and adaptability allowed us to use it in breasts of different sizes and shapes, and the possibility of varying the area of the semicircle gave us the chance to remove more breast tissue from the upper pole, especially in large breast reduction.…”
