The infra-areolar longitudinal incision in reduction mammoplasty.

The author presents a reduction mammoplasty technique in which an infra-areolar longitudinal incision is used. The incision can be either one line, without skin removal, or an ellipse, with some skin to be removed. The gland is totally freed from the pectoral muscle and the resection of the mammary cone's base is then done, using pre-established measurements. The skin retracts spontaneously over the remaining breast tissue, which maintains its original shape in a smaller size.

Reduction mammoplasty.

The concept of the author's technique foresees that the long-term appearance after reduction mammoplasty is dictated by the volume and shape of the remaining glandular adipose tissue, on which the skin gradually contracts. The resection of this tissue obeys the same orientation for small, medium, and large hypertrophic breasts. The design for skin resection is chosen according to the quality and quantity of the skin to be removed. Three different designs are presented.

A critical study of the approaches for the insertion of mammary prosthesis.

The various approaches for the insertion of a mammary prosthesis have been analyzed including the inconveniences and advantages each of them presents. Experience and careful use of rigid surgical principles can improve the results. One alternative, the subareolar-longitudinal approach, has several advantages. In the author's experience, it made the surgical act easier and has produced a good final result, confirmed in 60 surgically treated patients.

Reduction mammaplasty: a personal technique.

We describe a new method of breast reduction. Its advantages are adaptability to small, medium, or large hypertrophy, a short, well-hidden inframammary scar, preservation of good blood supply to the breast, ease of permance, and predictability in producing a breast of pleasing appearance and relatively normal function.
