    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Reduction mammoplasty aims to reduce breast size while achieving aesthetic symmetry.
    • Traditional techniques can result in extensive scarring, impacting patient satisfaction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified reduction mammoplasty technique.
    • To achieve breast size reduction with minimal scarring.

    Main Methods:

    • Limited skin excision in the central breast area.
    • Resection of glandular tissue laterally, medially, and a midline wedge.
    • Skin retraction and suturing to the midline.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a significantly shorter horizontal scar.
    • Preserved aesthetic contour through targeted tissue and skin manipulation.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique offers an effective approach to reduction mammoplasty.
    • It provides a favorable aesthetic outcome with reduced scar length.
