The inferior pedicle is still the most common
pedicle used for breast reduction using both inverted T and
vertical closure, however many unfavorable results may follow
as bottoming out and decreased upper pole fullness. Many
techniques were done to overcome the drawbacks of the
inferior pedicle technique.
Patients and Methods: 10 patients complain of huge ptotic
breast had inferior pedicle technique with full release of
pedicle from skin with glandular brassiere support in form of
lower pillars on both sides with vertical skin closure.
Results: Satisfactory long term results both objectively
and subjectively, with good upper pole fullness and without
bottoming out and only with vertical scar.
Conclusion: This technique combined both the merits of
the inferior pedicle reliability and better aesthetic results.
