The Versatility of the Superomedial Pedicle with Various Skin Reduction Patterns

Abstract

The superomedial dermoglandular pedicle is a safe and reliable technique for reduction mammaplasty. Its versatility allows for reproducible results in a broad range of patients with various skin excision patterns. Use of the superomedial pedicle provides consistent results with respect to breast contour, nipple viability, and lasting superomedial fullness, and saves operating time compared with the inferior pedicle technique.
