16 patients were benefited by a plastic surgery for burn scars on the zone of breast. 56% of these patients acquired the burn on the zone of breast before their puberty. 62% of subjects with the wounds on breast were interened by various techniques of plastic surgery in the period of completed development of the mamonary glands. The most indicated (64%) ones were classic techniques such as Z shape plastic surgery, skin thick autograph, localflap. Skin thick autograph can be used mainly in the cases of plastic surgery under the breast plica (28%). The techniques of tissue dilation is used only 16% of cases, the skin largy flap is used in 2 patients with the burn scars of skin and of mamonary glands. In each patients, 1 to 4 various techniques can be used according to the age and the form of injury

Author introduced materials: the shape of pocket, composition of pocket and elastomer shell; and techniques of breast augmentation including incision, implant pocket placement, post-operation care and complications. Breast augmentation by silicone implants resolves basically the needs of aesthetic aspect, emancipates women by erasing complexes of anatomical defects. Lack of information about new techniques and incorrect indications will give bad aesthetic consequences for patients, although breast augmentation is a specific surgery in plastic surgery

From 1996 to 2002, 72 female patients aged 10-42 years old with breast abnormalities were operated by various techniques (Z plasty, skin graft, local flap, musculocutaneous pedical flap, breast implant and tissue expansion). Results showed that plastic surgeries were applied more and more to response to the patient’s requests of aesthetics and functions. In mammaplasty, the first is aesthetic, therefore surgeons had to know many techniques and sensitize with each case

OBJECTIVETo study the efficacy and complications of the method for reduction mammaplasty in patients with breast benign diseases.

METHODSFrom November 1980 to December 2001, reduction mammaplasty was performed in 27 patients with breast hypertrophy, ptosis and benign diseases. The operation methods were selected according to the characters of the diseases and the extent of breast hypertrophy and ptosis. 9 patients received reduction mammaplasty using an inferior pyramidal pedicle technique; 16 patients received Mckissock vertical bipedicle technique and 2 patients received the bicyclic incision technique.

RESULTSThe successful rate was 94.2%. Three breasts developed areola necrosis in Mckissock. Symptoms caused by breast hypertrophy and benign diseases were improved apparently.

CONCLUSIONReduction mammaplasty is the best option for the treatment of breast hypertrophy and ptosis with benign diseases. The method of reduction mammaplasty should be taken individually.

OBJECTIVETo explore an ideal technique for remodeling the breast after resection of large breast fibroadenoma.

METHODSBased on the principle of breast reduction, an operation plan was designed. The new locations of the nipple, and the areola and the area of the breast skin to be resected were marked. The preoperative-marked skin, epidermis, and the whole breast tumor were resected routinely. Then breast remodeling followed according to augmentation mammoplasty. Seven patients underwent this operation.

RESULTSThe operative results were satisfactory in terms of multiple parameters during the follow-up period.

CONCLUSIONSThis operation can effectively resect the breast tumor and remodel the breast simultaneously.
