    This study presents a new surgical marking technique for superiorly based mammaplasty to improve en bloc resection. The method uses a temporary suture to prevent dog ears and reduce visible scarring, enhancing aesthetic outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Mammaplasty

    Background:

    • Superiorly based mammaplasty can lead to aesthetic complications like dog ears.
    • Accurate preoperative marking is crucial for optimal surgical outcomes in breast reduction surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel technique for precise preoperative marking in superiorly based mammaplasty.
    • To address the challenge of medial and lateral dog ear formation and associated scarring.

    Main Methods:

    • A temporary triangular suture is employed to delineate estimated resection lines.
    • This suture guides the en bloc resection of medial and lateral tissue blocks.

    Main Results:

    • The technique effectively controls resection lines, facilitating accurate tissue removal.
