An areolar approach to reduction mammaplasty

Breast CA Prevention with 5th Generation Mastopexy Augmentation Technique

It results in a little discomfort at the beginning with the garment and wound care but finally patients stay quite satisfied and most importantly without recurrence, and may be applied primarily to pre-menopause patients and also celibate patients, besides the technique may be applied to asymmetrical breasts, tuberous, pendulous but not for cancer reconstruction (Figures 9 & 10), 99% of pathological results were cystic fibrous mastopathy bilaterally, only one intraductal multiple papilomatosis unilateral and no in situ ca [32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

“…In their review, they recommended that a periareolar approach is ideal for tumors close to the areolar (mostly upper pole tumors) in mildly ptotic breasts that would benefit from mastopexy based on Benelli's “round block technique” [18]. According to previous reports on breast periareolar aesthetic surgery, the main advantage of breast periareolar aesthetic surgery is the small residual scar produced around the areola, which is generally less conspicuous than the scars produced by conventional techniques, and the main disadvantage is that this technique cannot be used to correct ptosis or flabbiness of the breast [19–23]. …”

Periareolar Mammaplasty for Treatment of Gynecomastia with Breast Ptosis and Excess Skin

“…The transareolar mammary (12) and infraareolar marginal incisions (5,17) are not always efficient to correct gynecomasties with marked skin redundancy and to elevate the nipple-areola complex. Skin resection using inverted T technique, (15) vertical, (7,11) or transverse (6) skin ellipses results in long scars and can leave the breast with a conelike shape.…”
