Abstract

Objective: To introduce a modification of Lejour reduction mammaplasty.

Methods: With the upper pedical flap as the base of mammaplasty, the lower part of breast was resected while excess skin was pushed to lateral and formed "L"-shaped scar after it was resected.

Results: From October 2005 to April 2006, the modified Lejour reduction mammaplasty was applied to 10 mammahypertrophic patients with 20 breasts in sum. The result of operation was good and only "L"-shape scar was left in the lower lateral part of the breast.

Conclusions: This method is easy to perform and could avoid inverted T scar caused by routine mammaplasty technique. This method is worth introducing widely.
