AI Article Synopsis
- The authors improved the classic free nipple graft reduction mammaplasty technique by using superior and inferior pyramidal dermoglandular flaps to enhance breast shape and projection.
- They treated six patients (12 breasts) with gigantomastia, resulting in aesthetically pleasing, conically shaped breasts with good projection.
- The modified technique is straightforward to perform and allows for a quick change in approach if the nipple's blood supply appears compromised during surgery.
Article Abstract
Classic free nipple graft reduction mammaplasty often yields flat, boxy breasts with poor projection. The authors modified this technique using superior and inferior pyramidal dermoglandular flaps to increase the fullness and projection of the breast. Six patients (12 breasts) with gigantomastia underwent breast reduction by this method. The results were aesthetically pleasing, with conically shaped breasts and good projection. The technique is easy to perform and it is possible to switch from pedicled nipple-areolar transposition to this method intraoperatively in patients in whom perfusion of the nipple is questionable.

Background: We investigated the perioperative outcome and oncologic safety of performing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) through a single axillary incision (NSM-SAI) compared with performing NSM through a conventional incision (NSM-C).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 725 patients who underwent NSM for breast cancer between January 2010 and December 2023; 333 patients who underwent NSM with immediate reconstruction (IR) were enrolled. Surgical outcomes and oncologic outcomes of NSM-C (n = 184), NSM performed through SAI with a freehand approach (NSM-SAI-F; n = 92), and with an endoscopic approach (NSM-SAI-E; n = 57) were demonstrated.

Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive breast enlargement, which can lead to physical and psychological distress. Gestational gigantomastia (GG) occurs during pregnancy, often presenting significant management challenges. This case contributes to the limited literature on GG management by highlighting the successful use of the Goldilocks technique combined with free nipple grafting, offering insights into an effective surgical approach.

Mammary hypertrophy, or macromastia, is an increase in breast tissue volume due to multiple etiologies and still unknown pathophysiology. We report the case of a 45-year-old patient with juvenile macromastia, which caused cervical pain and decreased quality of life. It was decided to perform a reduction mammoplasty with a modified McKissock technique with a free nipple graft; the resected glandular tissue was 1039 grams in the right breast and 1029 grams in the left breast.
