“…Others have also noted easy inset of larger breast reductions and faster operative times attributed to decreased flap de-epithelialization, minimal superior flap creation or undermining, and single en bloc resection of breast parenchyma. 28,[30][31][32][33][34]46 It was found during the literature review, that the majority of studies did not specify pedicle type used or quoted complication statistics that were performed using mixed pedicle patient population. No large population size studies were noted in the literature that examined complication rates associated with the superomedial pedicle technique nor compared it against other pre-existing or more established reduction mammaplasty techniques.…”

“…According to a study by Makboul et al, [16], the superomedial pedicle shows better long term aesthetics, projection and contour of the breast in addition to the less incidence of glandular ptosis. Our study confirmed these findings as there was a statistically significant difference between Group (A) and Group (B).…”

Background: Choosing an ideal technique for breast reduction is a challenging problem specially when the patient lacks an accurate expression of her desired breast size or shape as in the Egyptian society. This study focused on both objective and subjective evaluation of two commonly practiced techniques in breast reduction; the superomedial pedicle and the inferior pedicle.Methods: Nineteen females submitted for breast reduction in a comparative prospective study, 10 of them underwent a superomedial pedicle mammaplasty while 9 patients underwent an inferior pedicle mammaplasty. All the patients assessed for cosmetic outcomes and their satisfaction before and after the surgery.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between both pedicles regarding the rate of complications. The late post-operative breast measurements including the vertical meridian and nipple-to-inframammary fold distance showed significant higher values in the inferior pedicle group. Also, the rate of boxy-shaped and bottoming out deformity was significantly higher in the same group. Post-operative patient satisfaction showed some higher scores in the superomedial group. Conclusion:The superomedial pedicle has the advantages of better breast shape and contour and higher patient satisfaction.

“…The results in plastic surgery are evaluated in terms of not only morbidity and mortality, but mainly patient satisfaction, and the surgeon’s perception of the outcome is often different from the patient’s perception ( 20 - 22 ). The importance of understanding the patient’s perception about the surgical outcome and the impact that plastic surgery can have on the patient’s quality of life is being increasingly recognized.…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to analyse patient-reported outcomes of reduction mammoplasty among Brazilian women.METHODS:A total of 100 women were enrolled in this cross-sectional controlled study, 50 with breast hypertrophy (Hypertrophy Group) and 50 who had undergone breast reduction at least six and up to 12 months before (Mammoplasty Group). The Brazilian version of the BREAST-Q® was applied to assess patient-reported outcomes. The module reduction/mastopexy was used, and the preoperative and postoperative versions were applied to the hypertrophy and mammoplasty groups, respectively.RESULTS:The mammoplasty group presented higher scores for the subscales satisfaction with breasts, psychosocial well-being, sexual well-being and physical well-being (p=0.0001 for all of these subscales).CONCLUSION:These results suggest that patients submitted to reduction mammoplasty are satisfied with the outcomes and present better quality of life scores compared with women with breast hypertrophy.
