ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The inverted "T" operation is a typical and classic method for breast hypertrophy. Although having good results, it leaves significant scar and tends to have bottom-out deformity with time. The purpose of this study is to introduce our experience in vertical mammaplasty.METHODS:
The typical Lejour's design was used. The lower part of the breast was excised. The nipple-alveolar complex was elevated to a proper position with the superior dermal-glandular pedicle. Only vertical scar was left after the skin was closed.RESULTS:
24 patients were treated using this method. The results were satisfactory except unilateral nipple-alveolar complex necrosis occurred in one patient. Another patient had a minor revision for the dog-ear 6 months after breast reduction.CONCLUSIONS:
Vertical reduction mammaplasty is effective with reduced scar and highly satisfactory results. It deserves recommendation.
