The failure of a postoperative local infection to resolve after appropriate antibiotic therapy should prompt consideration of other diagnoses. Reported here is a case of pyoderma gangrenosum, a rare necrotizing disorder, occurring after reduction mammaplasty. The clinical presentation was one of progressive wound deterioration with associated erythema and intense pain. After failure of antibiot...

Some studies emphasized that anatomic mechanisms of vertebral aberrations could be associated with large breasts. The effect of mammaplasty operation on the vertebral column and body posture seems to be beneficial; in this trial, it was planned to investigate the objective radiologic effect of reduction mammaplasty on the posture of the vertebral column in a group of patients operated due to th...

BACKGROUND Three-dimensional photography of the breast offers new opportunities to advance the fields of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. The following study investigates the use of three-dimensional imaging to assess changes in breast surface anatomy, volume, tissue distribution, and projection following medial pedicle reduction mammaplasty. METHODS Preoperative and postoperative...

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was an objective integrated assessment of the functional outcomes of reduction mammaplasty. METHODS The study involved 17 women undergoing reduction mammaplasty from March 2009 to June 2011. Each patient was assessed before surgery and 2 months postoperatively with the original association of 4 subjective and objective assessment methods: a physiatric clinical ...

M oday, M arch 7, 2017 reduction (SPAIR) mammaplasty. This technique utilizes an inferior pedicle, circumvertical skin resection pattern, and purse-string peri-areolar closure to achieve a stable and aesthetic breast shape. Late breast distortion from seroma formation is rare complication than may occur after an initially satisfactory result. Contraction of the seroma cavity may cause the surro...

BACKGROUND Surgeons often advise patients with large ptotic breasts to undergo a Wise pattern reduction (WPR) mammaplasty using an inferior pedicle technique with consideration of a free-nipple graft. OBJECTIVE We describe the Boston modification of the Robertson technique (BMRT), which allows for the elimination of the vertical scar using a low horizontal scar mammaplasty with a broad centra...

Background: Intention of reduction mammoplasty is to minimize the breast volume and maintain supply blood innervations NAC (nipple-areola-complex), lift higher position in mound using any reliable technique like central pedicle technique. Methods: This research selected observed 15 patients who underwent for mammaplasty reduction. Age criterium included this 18 years 60 5 from Chinese patients....
