Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of superomedial pedicle mammaplasty in the treatment of the deformity of hypermastia,and secondary deformity after implants or polyacryamide hydrogel removal.Methods Thirty-six patients underwent a new technique for mammaplasty.This technique involved a superomedial pedicle with or without Würinger's horizontal septum which was used to repair the deformity of hypermastia,and secondary deformity after implants or polyacryamide hydrogel removed.Results In our series,the new nipple-to-sternal-notch distance was (20.10±1.94) cm postoperatively.Mean nipple elevation was 7.5 cm (range 4 13 cm),and there were no he matoma and partial or complete nipple-areolar complex (NAC) necrosis occurred.Minimal wound dehiscence occurred in two cases (5.56 ％),the rest cases were healed in stage Ⅰ.Twenty eight patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months.NAC sensibilities were comparable before and after operation,and good breast shapes were produced with unconspicuous incision scar in all cases.Conclusions Superomedial pedicle mammaplasty could achieve satisfactory results with respect to breast contouring and scar,meanwhile maintain the NAC viability and sensibility.
