    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Aesthetic Medicine

    Background:

    • Traditional mammaplasty techniques can have limitations.
    • Refining surgical methods is crucial for improving patient outcomes and aesthetic results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified Pitanguy's technique for mammaplasty.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this modified approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A modification of Pitanguy's mammaplasty technique was employed.
    • The technique involves the use of curved incisions.
    • Breast tissue resection is performed on a horizontal plane.

    Main Results:

    • The modified technique was performed in 130 consecutive mammaplasty cases.
    • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported.
    • Consistently good esthetic results were achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Pitanguy's mammaplasty technique is safe and effective.
    • This technique offers favorable aesthetic outcomes with a low complication rate.
