“…In the last two decades, there have been many developments in breast reduction procedures with different results [ 4 ]. In general, breast reduction surgery aims to remove breast tissue (skin, adipose, and glands) and transposing the NAC which aims to form breasts that are smaller, symmetrical, look more attractive, and reduce complaints caused by massive and hanging breasts [ 8 , 12 ]. Vertical scar mammaplasty with superior pedicle surgery is a surgical technique that combines a superior pedicle for the areola and performs a central-inferior quadrant resection for breast reduction [ [13] , [14] ].…”

“…4,[8][9][10][11] However, development of pseudoptosis (bottoming-out deformity) due to gravity-induced stretching of vertical limb of the inverted-T scar and a flat and boxy-shaped breast with poor projection are highlighted as its major criticisms. 10,[12][13][14][15][16] Furthermore, timeconsuming deepithelialization of a large area and tension at the T-junction, which may result in difficulty in suture closure and subsequent wound dehiscence, are noted as its technical challenges. 10,16 In this article, it was aimed to present clinical outcomes and experiences in a series of inverted-T scar reduction mammaplasty, in which plication and dermal flap suspension of the inferior pedicle were performed together.…”

While combined use of these maneuvers helps to avoid unintended outcomes of the inferior pedicle, it aids in generating a projectile and conical breast mold with satisfying cosmetic results.…”
