In Search of Better Shape in Mastopexy and Reduction Mammoplasty

Abstract: "Bottoming out" of parenchyma after several months is a problem extant in previous techniques of mastopexy and reduction mammaplasty. The authors have addressed this problem by creation of a mobile, chest wall-based flap of breast tissue that is passed under and held in place by a loop of pectoral muscle. Experience with this technique spans a period of 7 years and includes 390 patients, indicating the permanence of this correction.

“…Despite more recently popularized techniques of breast reduction as described by Hamdi [8], Lejour [9], Hall-Findlay [10], Benelli [11], Goes [12], Graf [13] and the inferior pedicle reduction mammaplasty is still very popular because of its well recognized advantages. Firstly, this technique can be utilized with almost all breast sizes (more than 2000 g per breast) and even in cases of gigantomastia it is possible to avoid free nipple grafts [14].…”

“…A pesar de las numerosas y valiosas alternativas publicadas hasta la fecha por reconocidos autores (1, 2, 5-7, 10, 20) con el objeto de optimizar los resultados y un mayor grado de satisfacción de las pacientes tanto a medio como a largo plazo en los procedimientos de mastopexia con aumento, apreciamos una constante investigación por lograr técnicas que permitan prevenir los resultados insatisfactorios en el mayor porcentaje posible de pacientes (9,10,(12)(13)(14). Estos resultados insatisfactorios publicados (13,15,21), ponen en evidencia la tendencia de una constante búsqueda por el desarrollo de nuevos métodos, de manera especial en aquellas pacientes con mala calidad de cobertura mamaria por pobre elasticidad de la piel y escaso panículo adiposo (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23), lo que nos demuestra la importancia y la necesidad de evaluar minuciosamente a cada paciente, a fin de seleccionar la técnica más adecuada para cada caso en particular, proporcinando una completa cobertura a toda la superficie del implante mamario.…”
