["Vertical, triangular mammaplasty technique". Description, indications, six year retrospective study].

    Summary

    The vertical triangular technique (VTT) offers a new approach to mammaplasty, achieving stable, aesthetically pleasing breast shapes with a vertical scar. This method demonstrates that scar reduction does not compromise overall morphological quality.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Context:

    • The vertical triangular technique (VTT) is a novel mammaplasty approach.
    • Traditional mammaplasty techniques often result in longer scars.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the VTT mammaplasty.
    • To assess the long-term stability and morphological quality of breasts after VTT.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective study analyzed 82 patients over six years, with a minimum one-year follow-up.
    • The VTT involves mammary liposuction, glandular reshaping, and specific techniques to create a conical breast shape with a vertical scar.
    • Key technical principles include adequate liposuction, hyper-correction of the cutaneous pinch, complete subcutaneous mastectomy, and precise glandular pillar suturing.

    Impact:

    • The VTT mammaplasty technique demonstrates long-term shape stability.
    • The study indicates that scar reduction in VTT does not negatively impact the morphological quality of the breast.
    • Identified short-term complications include bursa slackening and seroma; medium-term complications involve bursa distortion, pinch issues, and resection defects.
