Septum-Inferior-Medial (SIM)-Based Pedicle: A Safe Pedicle with Well-Preserved Nipple Sensation for Reduction in Gigantomastia

摘要

Background Reduction in breasts with well-preserved nipple sensation and a viable nipple-areola complex (NAC) is one of the basic core concepts of reduction mammoplasty. Many techniques have been described with enthusiasm advocating full achievement of the aforementioned goals. The goal of this study is to introduce a novel technique that provides an intact neurovascular source to the nipple-areola complex for reduction in gigantic breasts.
