Inferior Pedicle Technique

Reduction mammaplasty has become an accepted surgical procedure in North American society. The purpose of this study was to determine the method used by Canadian plastic surgeons to perform this procedure. A survey was sent out to all members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons in the spring 1993 mailing which questioned them on various aspects of their technique. Response rate was 45% and surgeons did on average 4.6 reduction mammaplasties per month which were covered by provincial health insurance in 96% of cases. The most popular method overall was an inferior pedicle technique, used by 65% of surgeons. Most surgeons altered their procedure in special clinical situations such as small or very large reductions, ptotic breasts, tubular breasts, or second procedures.

A Freiberg, MM Carr. Improving pseudoptosis in Robbins reduction mammaplasty. Can J Plast Surg 1994;2(2):71–74. The problem of the high nipple is frequently observed after reduction mammaplasty. Our hypothesis was that this deformity could be avoided with proper nipple-areolar complex (nac) placement. The original Robbins inferior pedicle reduction mammaplasty was modified by the placement of the nac intraoperatively at the completion of the breast mound construction. One hundred and fifty-three consecutive patients were followed after reduction mammaplasty. Pseudoptosis, defined as a nac above the inframammary fold while the breast tissue appeared to have descended, was graded as mild, moderate or severe. Individuals were classified by two independent observers. Frequency and degree of pseudoptosis in the original technique was significantly greater than in the modified group. In both groups there was no relationship between number of years postoperative or amount of breast excised and pseudoptosis. Incidence of pseudoptosis was related to breast type and possibly pregnancy in both groups. We conclude that pseudoptosis is likely a result of an initial improper nac placement as opposed to an expected result of reduction mammaplasty.
