Breast Reduction Case #05

PATIENT DETAILS

Inferior pedicle breast reduction can effectively reduce breast volume and is the most common technique of breast reduction in North America. This traditional technique excises both a horizontal and vertical segment of the breast to yield an “anchor” or “Inverted-T scar” on the breast. While the incision is longer than that of a vertical breast reduction, the possibility of breastfeeding in the future is better. Nerves to the nipples are also better preserved with a higher likelihood of conserving nipple sensation following inferior pedicle breast reduction.

• Inferior pedicle breast reduction
• Outpatient procedure
• Pleasing breast shape
• Discoloration and scarring continued to improve for 1-2 years
• An “anchor” or “Inverted-T” scar
• Vascular circulation to the nipple and areola – inferior pedicle
• Moderate volume of breast excised (right 654g, left 605g)
