A one-stage surgical correction of tuberous and tubular breast deformities is described. An intraareolar donut of pigmented skin is deepithelialized to correct the associated mega areola, allowing, at the same time, a port of entry for insertion of a retroglandular breast implant. The exposed areolar dermis is then telescoped inward and stretch-anchored to an imaginary circular line situated beneath the breast skin areola junction, thus pushing the breast tissue against the implant and the chest wall and correcting the deformity. The round-block technique is then utilized to approximate the skin edges, resulting in a minimal scar, totally inconspicuous, confined to the immediate perinipple area.

The circumareolar approach is one of the most popular and versatile in breast surgeries. Nevertheless, this approach usually implies a closure under tension which could lead to areolar distortion, scar widening and hypertrophic scarring. To prevent these complications, different surgical adjustments to this technique have been proposed, such as the Hammond's "Interlocking Gore-Tex suture.

Background: Complex breast ptosis may be caused by moderate to severe degrees of skin and glandular sagging associated with breast and nipple-areola complex (NAC) asymmetries and deformities. The use of traditional peri-areolar mastopexy (t-PM) with or without implants is limited only to mild or moderate breast ptosis.
Objectives: This study aimed to report the safety and efficacy of the modified peri-areolar mastopexy (m-PM) characterized by a vertical shift of the classical pattern with implants and fat grafting (FG) in complex breast ptosis and to evaluate the influence of breast and NAC asymmetries, breast, and chest deformities on aesthetics outcomes.

Gynecomastia is defined as a benign condition of the male caused by tissue overgrowth (Blau and Hazani in Plast Reconstruct Surg 135(2): 425-432, 2015). Its incidence ranges widely in the world population, ranging from 32 to 65% (Innocenti et al. in Ann Plast Surg 78(5):492-496, 2017).

Benign breast diseases are a common presentation in the breast clinic outpatient department. These diseases, including giant fibroadenoma, multiple fibroadenoma in different quadrants, and large or recurrent phyllodes tumors, pose challenges in surgical management. We present a case series of 16 patients aged 19 to 63 years (average age, 41.

Introduction: We aimed to report the long-term surgical outcomes of extreme oncoplasty techniques in selected patients with unifocal (UF)/cT3 or multifocal-multicentric tumors (MFMC).
Material And Methods: Patients who were initially recommended to have mastectomy underwent extreme oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (eOBCS) including therapeutic reduction mammoplasty, racquet, and round-block mammoplasty, Grisotti flap, or combined technique were included. Preoperative tumor parameters, clinical outcomes, rate of local recurrence, survival, and patients' satisfaction were assessed.
