The Mammary Glands01:12

The Mammary Glands

The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery
  • Breast Reconstruction

Background:

  • Non-implant mastopexy for low-set breasts presents challenges in altering breast footprint shape and location.
  • The retromammary flap technique offers auto-augmentation for breast footprint reshaping.
  • Increasing breast projection and sliding the breast mound are key goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a combined non-implant mastopexy technique for low-set breasts.
  • To assess improvements in breast shape, projection, and footprint position.
  • To analyze patient-reported outcomes using Breast Q surveys.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 32 patients with low-set breasts underwent the combined technique.
  • The procedure involved a winged retromammary flap for projection and a myo-glandular flap for upward repositioning.
  • Pre- and post-operative evaluations included physical and radiological exams, measurements, and Breast Q surveys.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in breast shape and footprint position post-surgery.
  • Vertical breast footprint height increased, horizontal length decreased, and inframammary folds moved upward (p<0.001).
  • Breast Q scores demonstrated significant postoperative improvement.

Conclusions:

  • The combined retromammary winged flap and myo-glandular flap technique is effective for low-set breasts.
  • This implant-free method enhances breast aesthetics by improving projection and repositioning the breast footprint.
  • The technique successfully addresses shape and location challenges in mastopexy.
