| Abstract | ||
| Background: The inferior pedicle Wise pattern breast reduction is one of the most popular techniques used. However, some criticism and disadvantages of the technique needs to be revised and modified to reach better results. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective randomized study that included 30 female patients suffering from breast hypertrophy and they are candidate for the proposed technique. They under go breast reduction procedure with modified inverted T/inferior pedicle technique. Results: This study includes 30 female patients of an age ranged between 24-53 years old and a breast size (suprasternal notch to nipple distance) ranging from 30 to 43cm. The weight of removed tissues during surgery in our study was ranging from 650 to 1980 grams. The follow-up for 1-year postoperative shows patient satisfaction reaching 70%. Conclusion: Modification and refining the inverted T/inferior pedicle technique could give us a better aesthetic and functional results with minimization of the problems associated with this technique. | ||
