dc.description.abstractBackground It is important to reshape the breast with the least scar possible. This has led us to develop a technique for large breasts where the vertical scar was eliminated. Methods The new nipple is positioned at 19-21 cm. The level of the new inframammary line (IML) is marked 6 cm below the new areola. All the area between the marked IML and the present sulcus is de-epithelialized. The upper flap is undermined beginning from the new IML. The tissue excision is performed medially and laterally leaving a central pedicle that also carries the nipple-areola complex (NAC). The dermoglandular pedicle is shaped conically with breast-shaping sutures. The NAC is passed under the upper apron flap through its new opening. Results We retrospectively reviewed 145 patients who were operated on over the past 17 years. The mean age of the patients was 41 years. The mean distance preoperatively from midclavicle to nipple was 35.3 cm. The average weight of breast tissue excised was 1073 g per side. Seventeen patients (11%) suffered from minor complications. Conclusion This technique works especially well in breast reduction cases where a large mass excision is required. The horizontal scar is obvious only when the patient is lying down and cannot be seen by the patient herself. There is no risk of destroying the circular feature of the areola, which is pulled inferiorly by the vertical scar in the other techniques.en_US
