Abstract
- Breast has been considered as the symbol of the female. The ideal breast reduction should create beautiful breast with limited scar. Most recent breast reduction techniques tend to produce minimal breast scar and avoid the classic inverted - T incision. The vertical mammaplasty can be used in mild to moderate hypertrophic breast, producing good results without submammary scar. This technique uses adjustable markings, an upper pedicle for the areola, and a central breast reduction with limited skin undermining. The adjunctive use of liposuction in fatty breasts can be considered safe and efficient. We have performed a vertical reduction mammaplasty in 3 patients. The patients were very satisfied without complications. The advantages and disadvantages of vertical reduction mammaplasty were discussed.
