    M-plasties offer a surgical technique to reduce unsightly skin protrusions, known as dog ears, after defect closure. This method minimizes the removal of healthy tissue while maintaining optimal angles for effective closure.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatologic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Conventional surgical closure of skin defects can result in dog ears, which are unaesthetic protrusions.
    • Fusiform excisions with angles of 30 degrees or less can reduce dog ears but may necessitate excessive removal of healthy tissue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe M-plasties as a surgical technique to address dog ear deformities.
    • To demonstrate how M-plasties can reduce the need for extensive tissue excision compared to traditional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • The study details the application and technical aspects of M-plasty.
    • M-plasties allow for the use of up to 30-degree angles, similar to fusiform excisions, but with reduced tissue requirements.

    Main Results:

    • M-plasties effectively reduce the volume and length of healthy skin and subcutaneous tissue excised.
    • This technique maintains the ability to achieve optimal closure angles, mitigating dog ear formation.

    Conclusions:

    • M-plasties represent an effective alternative for surgical skin defect closure, minimizing tissue loss.
    • The technique offers a favorable balance between aesthetic outcomes and tissue preservation in plastic and dermatologic surgery.
