    This study presents a modified zig-zag incision technique for skin resection during breast reduction surgery. This method aims to minimize scar visibility by aligning incisions with natural skin tension lines, improving cosmetic outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Reduction mammoplasty is a common surgical procedure to reduce breast size.
    • Visible scarring is a significant concern for patients undergoing breast reduction.
    • Traditional techniques can result in noticeable scars due to tension along incision lines.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a modified skin resection technique for reduction mammoplasty.
    • To minimize scar visibility and improve cosmetic results.
    • To align surgical incisions with the direction of skin tension.

    Summary:

    • A novel zig-zag incision technique for vertical tissue excision in reduction mammoplasty is described.
    • This modified approach facilitates scar placement along lines of natural skin tension.
