Modification of the Superomedial Pedicle in Wise-pattern Breast Reduction: New Sling Suspension Technique to Prevent (Pseudo)ptosis

Abstract

The combination of the superomedial pedicle with the traditional Wise-pattern skin resection has gained increasing popularity for its versatility and ability to achieve significant reduction of breast parenchyma and skin envelope. In this report, a reproducible new dermal suspension technique is described for cranial stabilization and fixation of the superomedial pedicle in Wise inverted T breast reductions to prevent pseudoptosis.
