Abstract:
Objective To evaluate a new technique for breast reduction. Methods The subcutaneous fat of the breasts was removed by liposuction. Two circular incisions, an inner circle that represents the new areola perimeter and the outer circle that defines the outside extent of the skin de epithelized, were designed. The de epithelized skin worked as a dermal cloak to position the nipple and cover the remaining glandular tissue with supporting. Results This technique was used in 9 cases. All the breasts kept a satisfactory shape. The areola and scar tended to widen within 3 months. Conclusion This technique is easy to perform, and effective for breast reduction.
