Glandular Tissue Consistency
In younger women, the breast is generally more glandular; however, when they get older, a fat substitution is always observed. Thus, more compact result is obtained in young patients.
Height oftheNipple-Areola Complex
This aspect is fundamental in the choice of the vascular pedicle that will supply the areola. The distance from point “A” to the NAC determines the degree of ascent, and it can be performed through direct ascension, migration techniques, or graft. As much greater the distance to reach “A” point, more will be the risk of devascularization.
Breast andChest Asymmetries
Several congenital or acquired factors can interfere with the “normal” shape of the breasts. Among the congenital anomalies are breast agenesis, Poland’s syndrome, supernumerary gland, inverted nipple, Pectus excavatum and scoliosis. Another situation that must belooked for and evaluated,is tuberous breast. Therefore, the evaluation aims to dene the parameters that will be modied with the surgery and clarify the types of asymmetry that cannot be corrected.
Previous Injuries or Scars
In order to identify previous aesthetic or reconstructive surgeries and exclude breast neoplasms, a careful investigation of what happened should be done, and, if possi­ble, request the mastologist’s evaluation. In addition, observe the presence of scar retractions due to burns among others and the quality of the scars and question whether there was any type of complication during the same.
Inframammary Fold andDegree ofPtosis
The degree of breast ptosis depends on the position of the NAC in relation to theIMF, according to Regnault´s classicationof ptosis (Table25.2).

Imaging Exams
We routinely recommend performing at least one imaging study before the proce­dure, either to identifyabenign or malignant condition that may interfere with the surgical schedule. For patients under 35 years, ultrasound is mandatory. On the other hand, high-resolution mammography is recommended for women over 35 years old. If there is family history for breast cancer or suspicious lesions, previous evaluation by the mastologist is required.
Photographs
At the rst consultation, patients must be advised regarding differences between each breast and keep in mind that each breast’s approach will be in an alternative way. Therefore, standardized photographs, preoperative and postoperative, with frontal, oblique, and prole views, are mandatory. The preference is for digital pho­tography that offers the opportunity to show immediately the differences to the patient and later allows comparing and evaluating the results of the procedure.
Informed Consent Form
An exhaustive explanation of the procedure and the signing of informed consent terms regarding its limitations, risks, and complications are mandatory. The docu­ments should be individualized for each patient. In Brazil, due to local laws, any resected surgical tissuemustbe sent for histopathological analysis.
Patient’s expectations and understanding about the surgery and anesthesia must be claried, as well as alerts regarding asymmetries, scar size, and unrealistic expec­tations. In addition, the procedure should be discouraged in cases of lactation, preg­nancy, papillary discharge, palpable nodule, axillary and supraclavicular lymph

nodes, skin and NAC lesions, and active infections. In these cases, surgery should be postponed until the diagnostic investigation and appropriate treatment are com­pleted. The minimum age recommended is 18 years old.

Patient Selection
In the Brazilian context, we follow Pitanguy’s principles and their variations, which include a wide variety of techniques for the most diverse breast characteristics. Therefore, the InvertedTpattern reduction mammoplasty is one of the most used techniques and has been improvingcontinuouslyin order to minimize the scarring sequelaeresulting from it.
There is a current tendency to seek reduced scars, in search of a higher aesthetic standard and in line with the increasing body exposure; however, it is very important to clarify to the patient that the best result cannot be sacriced at the expense of a reduced scar.
In order to choose the best technique, besides the issues already mentioned, we must take into consideration gland texture, skin quality, the degree of breast hyper­trophy and the estimation of fat and parenchyma volume. Anatomical landmarks and distances between structures such as the distance between the NAC and the sternal notch determine the necessary end position of the NAC and are of outmost importance in surgical planning. Thus, we propose the following algorithm:

Once the criteria for choosing the technique are established, it is essential to carry out complementary exams and to evaluate the surgical and anesthetic risk, which has the following objectives:
392
https://t.me/medicina_free
• Detect new diseases that could interfere with the surgical and postoperative act.
• Assess known diseases.
• Determine if the patient can be submitted to the proposed procedure.
• Establish conducts that minimize morbidity and mortality.
We routinely requesta completebloodcount, coagulogram, blood glucose, urea, creatinine, chest X-rays (PA and prole), and EKG.

Treatment/Evidence-Based Surgical Technique
Marking:
• The preoperative marking in a Tpatternbreast reduction varies from author to
author, but the geometricconcept and principles proposedstay unchanged instru-
ments as well may vary, but for academic purposes, we will describe our
preference.
• Marking step by step with the patient standing up position, with the smaller
breast as the main reference:
– Hemiclavicular line: can vary from 5.5 to 7cm and divides the breast into two
equal parts.
– “A” point: reects the projection of the inframammary fold over the hemicla-
vicular line.
– Extension of the sternal notchto “A” point that can vary depending on the
patient’s height between 18 and 22cm. Note: We use this reference because geometrically it gives greater precision and symmetry to the marking.
– Marking of the anterior axillary line, the inframammary fold, and the mid-
sternal line.
– “B” and “C” points: bi-digital handling through the pinching of the estimated
skin and breast tissue, equidistant from the areola, forming a triangle with the “A” point. Note: In this marking time, verify the amplitude of the angle formed between these two points, under the principle that what matters is the tissue left and not the removed one. Usually this angle varies from 40 to 60° during this marking.
– “D” and “E” points: marking at the medial and lateral limits in the inframam-
mary fold, without going beyond the groove and keeping them equidistant from “B” and “C” points.
– Joining the stitches: if there is excess skin, the design must be concave to the
groove, and if there is excess gland, it must be convex.
– Transfer the marking to the other breast by using wire or compass.
In additionto this standard markings, additional markings for the technique pro­posedmay be performed, for example, aninferiorly based dermal pedicle nipple­areolar ap, resection areas, or liposuction areas, either of which may be indicated for a particular type of breast.

Once checked, the patient goes to the operating room, and anesthetic induction is performed, which we give preference to general anesthesia.
Surgical sequence:
• After the anesthetic procedure, followed by strict asepsis and placement of surgi-
cal elds, with the patient in the supine position at 0° and the shoulders abducted
at 90°, the areola is marked under light tension with at hands.
• Next, the inltration, with a saline solution with adrenaline in a 1:200,000 dilu-
tion, makes at the breast marks. Inltration of the breast base, parallel to the
chest, can be performed.
– Across tension performed by the assistant at the base of the breast, incisions
are made around the areola of triangular shape.
– De-epithelialization around theNACin a triangular designed area, with pres-
ervation of the supercialvascularplexus until approximately 2 cm below
the areola. – A hook is placed to hold at “A” point. – With the breast perpendicular to the chest wall, between “B” and “C” points,
we amputate the base of the breast, according to the classic technique of the
upper pedicle ap. In addition, a wedge or keel resection of the central excess
of the mammary gland can be performed. – We do a medial approximation on the pillars with nylon 2-0 or 3-0 and its
xation to the pectoral fascia. This point will reect the NAC’s projection. – Pre-modeling of the breast through a suture between “B” and “C” points and
the medial point of the inframammary fold, where we will observe the breast
in a conical shape. This modeling must be reproduced in the contralat-
eral breast. – Mark the nal positioning of the NAC with areolotome between 5.5 and 7
cmabove the IMF or where the apex of the cone is. – NAC nal position is handled asadirect transposition,withdermoglandular
aps (monopediculate or bipedicled) or evenasa graft. – Hemostasis is a dynamic process that occurs with each resection to avoid
unnecessary blood loss. – Place and x the suction drains on the horizontal scar. – Suture in three planes with inverted knot with 2-0, 3-0, and 4-0 nylon. Suture
the NAC with Gillies stitch with 4-0 nylon and the intradermal closure
with3-0 monocrylsutures.
The dressing is of the closed compressive type, keeping the wound moist with
antibiotic ointments for the rst 48–72 h. Hospital discharge is 24 h.

Postoperative Care Protocol
The patient must follow a relative rest for 30 days, prevent carrying weight, and do domestic activities and gym activities during this period. From the fourth week onward, except in situations of complications, a patient is usually waiting to per­form activities with moderate intensity, such as walking, and in the period of 60 days, she is released for activities with a load. In addition, the surgical bra should be routinely used for 30 days and an anti-thrombus socks for 7 days.
In most cases, suction drains are left at the horizontal portion of the Inverted T pattern scar, and these will remain until drainage is less than 30 ml per breast and are usually removed between 3 and 5 days postop.
Postoperative lymphatic drainage has a relative indication and brings benets such as reducingpain, bruising, swelling, and preventingbrosis, but without inu­ence on the nal result of the surgery.
In addition, antibiotic prophylaxis with rst- or second-generation cephalo­sporins (cephalexin or cefuroxime) are routinely recommended, plus analge­sics and anti inammatory drugs for aminimum of 7 days. Other medications such as antiemetics and muscle relaxants are prescribed individually. Opioids are not necessary.
Prophylaxis of thromboembolism follows the recommendations of the Caprini scale. For allhospitalizedpatients pneumatic compression and early deambulation. When recommended, low molecular weightheparin 40 mg in a single dose, 12 h after the start of the procedure. We do not use heparin routinely for a prolonged period, except for cases of hemophilia or proven diseases.
Outcomes, Prognosis, andComplications
Complications are the same as those that can occur with other mammoplasty tech­niques. Breast reduction is considered a signicant procedure, as it includes exten­sive dissections and resections, which increase the number of complications, and these vary by up to 10%.
Among the immediate complications, we can highlight seroma and hematoma, which are usually managed with immediate evacuation. Skin necrosis—mainly at the junction of the inverted T or NAC—is generally attributed to aggressive surgical manipulations and consequently poor perfusion of the aps, further aggravated by postoperative edema and very tight sutures.
Signs of suffering from NAC are associated with ischemia due to excessive ten­sion or venous congestion that leads to a change in perfusion, partial or total loss of this segment. It is important to note that excessive stress relief can be reversed for a period of 6 h, avoiding this complication.
25 Basic Science/Disease Process
https://t.me/medicina_free
Lessfrequently, steatonecrosis occurs due to circulatory disorders of the fat tis­sue, presenting with phlogistic signs and uctuation and generally requiring drain­age, in addition to strict dressing control.
Late complications are usually related to scarring, such as hypertrophy, enlarge­ment, or keloid formation. The formation of epithelial cysts or a change in NAC sensitivity (hypo- or hyperesthesia) may also occur.
Prevention of complications:
• Use of the proper technique
• Delicacy with tissues during surgery
• Careful hemostasis
• Early drainage in the event of hematoma
• Absence of tension in the sutures
• Compression of scars
395
Pros andCons
A versatile technique provides both the correction of hypertrophy and the improve­ment of ptosis. It serves both young breasts and older patients and has long-lasting results. The disadvantage is the size of the scar and possible handling to migrate the NAC, which may demonstrate technical difculties depending on the surgeon’s experience.
• Systematization of surgery.
• Good symmetry with natural breast shape.
• We can add other techniques such as inferior pedicle aps to project the upper
pole and ared bottom ap.
• Dermoglandular ap to rotate the NAC in severe ptosis.
• Low level of complications.
Marketing Aspects
This technique brings great functional and aesthetic satisfaction to the patients as it considerably improves pain complaints, poor posture, and above all psychological aspects, raises their self-condence, and improves their social life.

Gynecomasty
LuisFernandezde Córdova andRicardoCavalcantiRibeiro
Abstract Gynecomastia is a common and distressing benign enlargement of the
breasts, affecting from 38% to 64% of the male population worldwide (Fruhstorfer and Malata, Br J Plast Surg 56:237–246, 2003); the incidence of bilateral gyneco­mastia also varies in the medical literature. This male thorax deformity of multifac­torial etiology in most cases requires surgical treatment, being one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed in men (https://www.isaps.org/wp-
content/uploads/2020/12/Global-Survey-2019.pdf). The rst record of this condi-
tion was made by the Egyptians depicting images of King Tutankhamen with gynecomastia (Daniels and Layer, ANZ J Surg 73:213–216, 2003).
Plastic surgeons as well as clinicians should not underestimate gynecomastia; although transient and benign by denition, it might have serious psychological consequences.
Palpable glandular tissue in the male breast presents itself through three peaks in the age distribution of gynecomastia occurring in neonates, pubertal boys, and elderly men, aiding also in the differentiation of physiologic or pathologic gynecomastia.

Introduction
Gynecomastia is a common and distressing benign enlargement of the breasts, affecting from 38% to 64% of the male population worldwide (Fruhstorfer and Malata 2003); the incidence of bilateral gynecomastia also varies in the medical literature. This male thorax deformity of multifactorial etiology in most cases requires surgical treatment, being one of the most common plastic surgery proce­dures performed in men (
Global- Survey- 2019.pdf). The rst record of this condition was made by the
Egyptians depicting images of King Tutankhamen with gynecomastia (Daniels and Layer 2003).
From an aesthetics point of view, the ideal male thorax is at, rm, and muscular. The pectoralis major forms most of the muscle component of the chest, at against the rib cage in its superior portion and convex at its inferior margin. The pectoralis major can be divided into clavicular, sternocostal, and abdominal portions. The con­vexity of the male chest is also due to a pectoral fat pad underneath the nipples; it is responsible for lipomastia, which is the enlargement of the male chest neither due to muscular hypertrophy nor a palpable glandular tissue disk under the nipple.
Palpable glandular tissue in the male breast presents itself through three peaks in the age distribution of gynecomastia occurring in neonates, pubertal boys, and elderly men, aiding also in the differentiation of physiologic or pathologic gyneco­mastia. Clinically, gynecomastia may present as subareolar breast tissue ranging from 0.5 to greater than 2cm, appearing at least 6 months after the onset of male secondary characteristics and typically regresses within 1 year. Multiple causes for pubertal gynecomastia have been suggested such as transient hormonal imbalance between estrogens and androgens; however, studies (Dunbar etal. 2005; Ersoz etal.
2002; LaFranchi etal. 1975) found conicting results when comparing hormonal
proles between teenagers with and without gynecomastia. Elderly men will often develop gynecomastia as testosterone levels decline in plasma and peripheral aro­matization increases (Table26.1).
