Variants of vascular dermoglandular pedicles used in reduction mammoplasty

Abstract

In aesthetic mammoplasty, breast reduction is one of the most complex and at the same time interesting operations (of course, after reconstructive and restorative operations). Of course, to perform a reduction in large volumes, it is necessary to have a decent experience in performing similar operations in small and medium volumes of breast tissue resection. Among surgeons, it is tacitly believed that a reduction in the volume of more than 400-500 grams on each side is no longer "small". This type of operation requires absolute knowledge of the features of blood circulation in the mammary gland, in particular the blood supply to the SAC. And we will begin our photo report with a brief overview of the circulatory system of the mammary glands and its anatomical structure. In the future, this will help the inquisitive reader to correctly assess the volume of work performed by the surgeon to recreate the shape of the female breast
