Introduction: Gigantomastia is a rare but not uncommon condition, and the most common surgical reduction procedure is by breast amputation with nipple-areolar grafting. Pedicle-based breast reduction is not commonly undertaken for such conditions.
Aim: This is a report of our experience in the use of an inferior-based pedicle for the reduction of gigantomastia.

Macromastia is a well-known issue in breast reconstruction. Skin-reducing mastectomy (SRM) was introduced as a skin-sparing mastectomy that utilizes a skin reduction pattern similar to breast reduction or breast lift surgery, specifically to manage hypertrophic and pendulous breasts. Over time, numerous authors have contributed to refining the SRM technique, leading to the development of various technical variants.

Background: The amount of tissue resection, measured in weight per breast, in breast reduction surgery has been considered a potential risk factor for complications.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of removing >1000 g versus <1000 g of breast tissue in women with macromastia.
Methods: A systematic search was performed on Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane in March 2024 for studies that compared resection weight >1000 g versus <1000 g in reduction mammoplasty.
