Abstract

The Author introduce his original technique valid for a wide range of breast ptosis and hypertrophy, and give new input for a tailored procedure. A butterfly shaped incision is made on the breast lower quadrants, leaving intact a central block, while medial and lateral excisions are performed. The central glandular-dermal flap is then transposed, overloading the two residual (lateral and medial) flaps advanced to the middle line, and is anchored to the pectoralis fascia. The volumes, so restored in shape and projection, are now lifting and supporting the gland by an internal double dermal brassiere.
