Pectoralis Major Median Myotomy: The Median Cut.

Dual-plane breast augmentation offers the advantages of a subpectoral implant location with the ability to expand its use to glandular ptotic and constricted lower pole breasts. Alas, high implant position or very loose breast tissue can lead to a notorious breast shape known as the "waterfall deformity." To prevent many of these undesired deformities, the authors introduce a novel pectoralis major median myotomy they call the "median cut.

The Paper Mache Bra: A Postsurgical Breast Taping Technique.

Little has been published about dressing the breast after surgery and the potential benefits of added support to the routine use of a nonwired bra postoperatively. We report a postsurgical breast taping method and suggest its use might help reduce minor postsurgical complications and subsequent impaired scarring.

Combined Breast Implant Explantation and Multilevel Mastopexy Technique.

Patients dissatisfied with their breast implants are faced with 2 options: secondary augmentation or removal of the implants. Simple removal of breast implants often leads to wide, deflated, and laterally displaced breasts which are notoriously difficult to reconstruct. We present a surgical technique that was specifically developed to recreate the breast mound using the wide laterally displaced breast tissue left after breast implant removal.

Multilevel Breast Reduction: A Retrospective Study of 338 Breast Reduction Surgeries.

Unlabelled: Aesthetic breast reduction is a common plastic surgery procedure with the potential for considerable improvement of the patient's quality of life in addition to its aesthetic value. Many different approaches have been described for breast reduction to improve upon previous techniques in terms of scarring, nipple position, amount of breast tissue excised, shape, and longevity of the results. However, medium size resections in ptotic and wide breasts are difficult to treat using both the most common inferior pedicle wise procedure and the various vertical scar techniques.
