“…Quan et al [6] reported that pseudoptosis develops most commonly and most rapidly in the first postoperative year and that bottoming out progresses significantly, but mildly, during the following 2 years. Efforts to achieve a sustainable breast mould that will not deform significantly over the long-term have yielded the development of various methods and modifications JOURNAL OF PLASTIC SURGERY AND HAND SURGERY 5 [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The inferior pedicle technique, which was first introduced four decades ago, remains the most popular technique because of its preservation of sensation and vascularisation of the nipple, especially in patients with a long sternal notch-to-nipple distance [4].…”

“…The use of purse-string circular suturing or continuous circular suturing of the breast was described in 2003; this involved the aponeurosis of the pectoralis major muscle, to reduce the mammary base and project the nipple-areola complex (NAC) at the vortex of the mammary cone, with restoration of the superior pole, and without the use of flaps 12,13 .…”

Introduction: Several reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy techniques are described in the literature, with the aim of reconstituting the upper pole, offering better projection, and providing adequate treatment for breast ptosis. However, particular attention should be devoted to the safety of the technique, with maintenance of vascularization, tissue innervation, and the capability of breastfeeding. Female patients operated on with the inferior pedicle flap technique were compared with those operated on with purse-string circular suturing. Methods: Eighty-five patients who had undergone reduction mammoplasty or mastopexy without implants, between January 2011 and December 2012 at Unicamp's Clinical Hospital, were evaluated. Thirty-one patients who only underwent reduction mammoplasty by Pitanguy's technique (without the use of flaps or circular sutures) were excluded. Of the remaining 54 patients, five were subsequently excluded for not attending medical appointments or failure to have postoperative ultrasonography. A group of 16 patients who had undergone circular suturing and a group of 33 operated on by the inferior pedicle technique were considered. Results: Demographic data were similar for both groups. A higher number of minor complications and unsatisfactory results were observed in the group that underwent the inferior pedicle technique, who also had a higher rate of relevant post-operative ultrasonography events. Conclusion: The circular suturing technique resulted in a high satisfaction rate, lower number of complications, and longer lasting results than the inferior pedicle technique, during the period analyzed in this study.

Background Reduction mammaplasty remains critical to the treatment of breast hypertrophy. No technique has been shown to be superior; however, comparison between studies is difficult due to variation in outcome reporting. Objectives The authors sought to identify a comprehensive list of outcomes and outcome measures in reduction mammaplasty. Methods A comprehensive computerized search was performed. Included studies were randomized or nonrandomized controlled trials involving at least 100 cases of female breast hypertrophy and patients of all ages who underwent 1 or more defined reduction mammaplasty technique. Outcomes and outcome measures were extracted and tabulated. Results A total 106 articles were eligible for inclusion; 57 unique outcomes and 16 outcome measures were identified. Frequency of patient-reported and author-reported outcomes were 44% and 88%, respectively. Postoperative complications were the most frequently reported outcome (82.2%). Quality-of-life outcomes were accounted for in 37.7% of studies. Outcome measures were either condition-specific or generic; frequencies were as low as 1% and as high as 5.6%. Five scales were formally assessed in the breast reduction populations. Clinical measures were defined in 15.1% of studies. Conclusions There is marked heterogeneity in reporting of outcomes and outcome measures in the literature. A standardized outcome set is needed to compare outcomes of various reduction mammaplasty techniques. Level of Evidence: 4
