Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Traditional mammaplasty often requires surgeons to switch sides, potentially increasing operative time.
  • Achieving symmetry and optimal cosmetic results in bilateral breast procedures can be challenging.

Purpose:

  • To present a new patient positioning for performing bilateral and synchronous mammaplasty.
  • To enable surgeons to operate on both breasts simultaneously without repositioning.

Summary:

  • The described technique involves positioning the patient upright with thigh and leg holders spread at 45-60 degrees.
  • The surgeon stands centrally between the patient's thighs, accessing both breasts directly and simultaneously.
  • This approach offers continuous visual control, simplifying and accelerating the mammaplasty procedure.

Impact:

  • Facilitates a faster and more efficient bilateral mammaplasty procedure.
  • Improves surgeon's control over breast shaping and cosmetic results.
  • Reduces the need for surgeons to switch operative sides, streamlining the surgical workflow.
