2 Anatomy
The blood supply of the breasts includes several named arteries, which include the thoracoacromial artery, internal mammary perforators, lateral thoracic artery, sub­scapular artery, and the terminal branches of the third to eighth intercostal perfora­tors [6, 7]. The arterial supply from the internal mammary perforators supply the medial and central portions of the breast, which is the largest arterial source supply­ing over 50–60% of total perfusion [8]. The second largest source comes from the lateral thoracic artery which arises from the axillary artery, supplying the superolat­eral aspects of the breast. The lateral portion also receives blood supply from the lateral intercostal vessels. Medial intercostal perforators supply the inferior central portion of the breast. The pectoral artery originating from the thoracoacromial artery supplies the posterior surface of the breast. The breast skin is supplied by the subdermal plexus which communicate with the deep underlying arterioles that sup­ply the breast parenchyma. Thus, the perfusion of skin aps depends on the preser­vation of major glandular tissue vascular supply and the subdermal vessels. The nipple areolar complex receives its blood supply from a combination of the subder­mal plexus and parenchymal supply. The parenchymal arterial supply can vary among patients and commonly includes the internal mammary, lateral thoracic, and intercostal arteries. With the rich vascular supply and collateralization, the division of breast tissue can often be performed safely as long as one or more of the major vascular pedicles are preserved [8].
The venous drainage of the breast is divided in two systems: the supercial and the deep [8]. The supercial system mainly consists of the internal mammary vein. The supercial system anastomoses with the deep system which parallels with the parenchymal arterial supply. The deep system drains into the internal mammary and lateral thoracic veins.
Innervation to the breasts comes primarily from the intercostal nerves and cervi­cal plexus. The central region of the breast receives innervation from the anterolat­eral and anteromedial nerve bers of intercostal nerves T3–T5 [6]. The nipple areolar complex primarily receives its innervation from the lateral cutaneous nerve of the fourth intercostal nerve [8]. The branches of the cervical plexus provide innervation to the superomedial breast. The intercostal nerves also provide sensa­tion to the medial and lateral border of the breast.
3 Pre-operative Evaluation
Careful planning before oncoplastic breast reduction is essential for a successful outcome. Multiple factors must be considered when deciding on a surgical approach, including individual patient characteristics, tumor characteristics, and patient pref­erences. Oncoplastic reduction should be considered for all patients with macro­mastia and early breast cancer conned to one region of the breast. Patients who

desire a reduction in their breast size, experience symptoms of macromastia, and require a large-volume resection that will likely result in breast deformity are ideal candidates [3, 9].
The volume of breast tissue to be resected should be estimated in the preopera­tive period. This is highly variable and depends on the size of the lesion, the size of the breast, and the patient’s desired cosmetic outcome. A study conducted by Cochrane etal. demonstrated that 10% of the total breast volume can be removed during BCT without signicant deformity, whereas Bulstrode and Shrotria found that resections greater than 20% typically result in a poor cosmetic result [10, 11]. Using advanced oncoplastic techniques, resection of up to 50% of the entire breast tissue can be performed with good aesthetic outcomes [12]. If the total excision volume required to achieve an acceptable oncologic result is anticipated to be greater than 10–20% of the total breast volume, than an oncoplastic procedure such as reduction mammoplasty should be considered. However, reduction mammo­plasty can also be performed on women with smaller tumors that do not require large excision volumes if that patient desires a smaller breast size.
During consultation, the history and physical should note the patient’s age and medical comorbidities, particularly any that could affect wound healing or skin ap viability such as diabetes, steroid use, smoking, prior breast surgery, or prior chest radiation [3]. Patients should be encouraged to mitigate modiable risk factors such as smoking cessation and weight control. Patients should also be asked about their satisfaction with their current breast size and shape, their desire for reduction and/ or mastopexy, and any symptoms of macromastia including neck, back, or shoulder pain, headaches, or intertriginous rashes [13].
Physical exam should include height and weight measurements and correspond­ing body mass index (BMI). Breast size and volume should be documented, as well as the shape and degree of excess skin or ptosis. If the lesion is palpable, its location and size should be noted. The contralateral breast should be similarly examined and any asymmetry noted. [3, 13].
It is important to obtain preoperative photographs and record breast measure­ments. Breast width, sternal notch-to-nipple (SN-N) distance, nipple-to­inframammary fold distance, and width of the nipple areolar complex (NAC) should be recorded for each breast, as this will affect the surgical approach [3, 14].
While the purpose of performing reduction mammoplasty after partial mastec­tomy is to improve aesthetic outcomes in large-breasted women undergoing BCT, ultimately oncologic safety is of the utmost importance and needs to be considered above all else. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial and the plastic surgeon, breast surgical oncologist, and breast radiologist must work together and communicate to determine the optimal surgical approach and ensure the integration of oncologic principles with aesthetic goals [3]. The patient’s imaging, including mammograms, MRI, and ultrasounds, should be reviewed by both surgeons as well as a radiologist prior to surgery to determine the tumor’s extent as well as the relationship to sur­rounding breast tissue, overlying skin, NAC, inframammary fold, and the chest wall [13, 15]. With input from the breast surgeon, the surgical incision should be selected
124

based on the tumor’s location and the patient’s breast anatomy. The breast surgeon will also decide if axillary staging or dissection is needed and the surgery team will decide if a separate axillary incision will be needed [10]. Preoperative localization of the tumor should also be discussed with the breast surgeon and radiologist prior to surgery [15].
The patient’s insurance provider’s policy towards oncoplastic approaches and or breast reduction should be reviewed to ensure the patient will have medical cover­age for the planned procedure. The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA) is a federal law that mandates insurance coverage by group health plans, health insurance companies, and HMOs for patients with breast cancer undergoing reconstruction of the breast after mastectomy, including surgery on the contralateral breast to achieve symmetry [16]. However, this law specically focuses on recon­struction after mastectomy only. In the 25years since the enactment of WHCRA, signicant advances have been made in oncoplastic surgery that enable surgeons to perform reconstructive techniques on patients undergoing only partial mastectomy. This presents a potential conict with insurance coverage under the WHCRA [17]. To improve likelihood of coverage, the surgeon must document that the procedure is medically necessary in relation to their cancer care. The patient should be sure to review their insurance plan to conrm that their surgical team is in-network, and should be prepared to pay any deductibles or co-pays mandated by their insurance plan. It is important for the patient to communicate with their insurance company so that obtaining insurance authorization does not delay surgery. It is not uncommon for insurance providers to provide coverage for oncoplastic reduction only if the patient meets medical necessity criteria for a breast reduction. These criteria vary by states and subsequent insurance providers. It is common for insurance providers to require that a patient document symptoms of macromastia (neck pain, upper back pain, breast fold intertrigo) and that the plastic surgeon document certainty in removing more than a certain amount of breast tissue. This amount varies by insur­ance providers but common criteria include removing more than 500g/breast or a weight based upon the Schnur scale which is extrapolated based upon a patient’s body surface area. Insurance providers set these criteria to differentiate a medically necessary breast reduction to alleviate symptoms, versus a mastopexy which is a purely cosmetic breast lift.

4 DCIS
Special consideration should be given to patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which often presents as a mammographic abnormality rather than a palpa­ble mass. It can be difcult to appreciate the full extent of disease preoperatively, therefore often challenging to obtain clear margins [18]. In one series of 28 patients with DCIS who underwent lumpectomy and reduction mammoplasty, 36% under­went a second operation for positive margins or residual calcications, and 25% required completion mastectomy. Young age (<45years old) and more aggressive

DCIS with intermediate to high grade lesions or comedo necrosis were associated with positive margin status, suggesting that these patients should be considered for a delayed oncoplastic procedure so that margin status can be determined before tis­sue is rearranged [19]. Another study of 68 patients demonstrated that patients with lesions greater than 5cm were signicantly more likely to have positive margins and undergo mastectomy [20]. Though multiple studies have demonstrated the oncologic safety of reduction mammoplasty in the setting of DCIS, careful patient selection is needed to avoid reoperation for positive margins and conversion to mas­tectomy [1921].
Another consideration for patients with DCIS is the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) at the time of oncoplastic reduction. The NCCN recommends against SLNB for DCIS unless the lymphatic drainage of the breast is disrupted during the procedure, as it is with a mastectomy, because it compromises future SLNB if invasive cancer is found on nal pathology [22]. It is unclear if reduction mammoplasty alters the lymphatic drainage and interferes with future lymph node mapping in patients with DCIS.One study of nine patients with initial diagnosis of DCIS undergoing SLNB within 4months of oncoplastic reduction found that at least one node was identied in all patients, suggesting that SLNB during reduction mammoplasty is not needed [23]. However, more research is needed on this subject and the choice to perform a SLNB is ultimately left up to the surgeon.

5 Preoperative Counseling
Prior to surgery the patient should understand the risks, benets, and alternatives to the procedure as well as the expected postoperative course. For most patients with macromastia and operable breast cancer, these options include BCT alone, BCT with reduction mammoplasty (oncoplastic reduction), or mastectomy with or with­out reconstruction.
While the benets of reduction mammoplasty have already been discussed, there are also risks to the procedure. Risks include hematoma or seroma formation, surgi­cal site infection, wound dehiscence, nipple or skin necrosis, and loss of sensation. While some studies have found a higher complication rate after reduction mammo­plasty compared to traditional lumpectomy, the rate of complications is similar to that of reduction mammoplasty performed for benign disease and does not lead to delays in time to adjuvant radiation therapy [2426].
The risk of positive margin also needs to be discussed with the patient. Due to the large volume of breast tissue resected, patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty have a lower incidence of positive margins and lower rates of completion mastec­tomy compared to patients undergoing standard lumpectomy [2629]. However, a positive margin after reduction mammoplasty presents a unique challenge as the tissues have been rearranged and the location of the lumpectomy cavity signi­cantly altered, making it difcult to identify margins for re-excision. For this reason, many surgeons recommend a completion mastectomy following positive margins
126

after oncoplastic reduction mammoplasty [3, 30, 31]. However, some breast sur­geons consider placing radioopaque markers or biabsorbable markers within the lumpectomy cavity to allow future identication of the cavity due to the possibly of positive margins. Therefore allowing a return to the operating room and proper cav­ity identication for re-excision should the margins show positivity.
Another important discussion point is the role of postoperative radiation. The need for radiation after partial mastectomy needs to be explained to the patient, as well as the risks associated with radiation. Radiation may affect the cosmetic result as the treated breast may become involuted and edematous, causing it to become rm and to retract up on the chest wall [3]. This may cause asymmetry and lead to dissatisfaction with the appearance of the breast. For this reason, a minority of plas­tic surgeons prefer to perform a contralateral symmetry procedure after completion of radiation therapy, though this subjects the patient to another operation and induc­tion of general anesthesia.[32]. Approaches to radiation are discussed more in depth later in the chapter. It is important to note that performing reduction mammoplasty on the treated breast after radiation is not recommended due to the high risk of delayed wound healing and other complications [33].

6 Operative Approach
6.1 Pre-operative Markings
Patients should be marked in the pre-operative area. Certain anatomic landmarks shift when supine, therefore patients should be marked in a standing position. Standard breast markings are placed, which include the following landmarks: infra­mammary fold (IMF), upper breast border, midline with sternal borders, and lateral extent of the breast footprint. Both breasts should be marked regardless of the later­ality of the procedure for the purpose of achieving symmetry.
6.2 Breast Landmarks
The breast footprint, or the surface on the anterior chest wall covered by the breast, is variable in every patient. In some patients, the breast sits lower on the chest and in others, higher. There are four landmarks that delineate the borders of the breast footprint, as mentioned above.
We start by marking the sternal notch, and then drawing a straight line caudad, which delineates the midline overlying the sternum. It is also helpful to mark the edges of the sternum; these lines are helpful as guides to prevent overly aggressive dissection and resection at the midline. The IMF by denition follows the inferior

curve of the breast, hence the inframammary border is marked at that location under each breast. The breast meridian is marked in the superior chest and upper abdo­men. The breast meridian is the center of the breast mound; the nipple-areolar com­plex (NAC) position should be ignored during this process as it is not always positioned at the center of the breast. Finally, in order to mark the superior breast border, each breast is pushed gently cephalad, and the outline of the breast is delin­eated from midline toward the axillary fold. See Fig.1 which demonstrates the preoperative marks identifying the breast landmarks.
6.3 Incision Marking
The incisions are those which are typically used for a standard mastopexy or reduc­tion mammaplasty, depending on breast size and ptosis grade. For a typical C cup breast, the new nipple position is marked 10cm inferior from the superior breast border. The preference of the senior author is to then mark the superior height of the areola 1.5 to 2cm above the planned nipple position. Another guideline is the new NAC position should be located on the most projected part of the breast. The breast is then distracted laterally and the position of the medial pillar is marked. In a simi­lar fashion, the breast is then distracted medially and the position of the lateral pillar is marked. The distraction is such that the new ideal planned shape of the breast is created with the distraction and the medial and lateral pillars marked in alignment

with the meridian. The length of the pillars should be 5–6cm down from the inferior border of the areola. The inferior extent of both pillars is then connected with a curved line, 2cm above the IMF.The “mosque dome” is then drawn to complete the borders of the new NAC.In larger breasted patients, inferior wedge resections may be necessary, which would result in the typical Wise pattern skin resection.
In cases in which the patient desires a balancing procedure, the same markings are replicated on the contralateral side. If the patient does not desire a balancing procedure, nal measurements are compared to the unaffected breast.
Once markings are complete, symmetry should be conrmed. The breast merid­ian should be the same distance from the midline beneath each breast. The distance from the sternal notch to the new nipple position on one side should be compared to the contralateral. The pillar lengths should be conrmed as equal on each side. Finally, the distances between the pillars is measured; this represents the parenchy­mal resection. It is expected that the larger breast will have a larger distance between the pillars. See Fig.2 which demonstrates the traditional marks for a breast reduction.
6.4 Pedicle Selection
Knowledge of the blood supply to the breast and specically to the nipple-areola complex (NAC) will ensure the best possible result for the patient. The location of the tumor should be marked on the breast as a reference point. The location of the tumor will determine the pedicle choice, therefore the plastic surgeon and the breast surgeon should plan the operative approach as a team. The following is a description of the possible pedicle choices and their advantages and disadvantages.

6.5 Superior Pedicle
The superior pedicle has a robust blood supply from the internal mammary system at the level of the second interspace. This blood supply enters the pedicle super­cially, approximately 1cm deep to the skin, just medial to the breast meridian. This pedicle is an excellent choice for inferiorly located tumors, with the caveat that the distance to the new location of the NAC is less than or equal to 5cm from its origi­nal location. The superior pedicle provides excellent aesthetic results, as the upper pole of the breast is preserved therefore preserving the cleavage area of the breast. Its major disadvantage is it is challenging in the setting of large volume breast reductions. The superior pedicle is the senior author’s pedicle of choice in the set­ting of small to moderate volume breast reductions.
6.6 Medial Pedicle
The medial pedicle is a great alternative to the superior pedicle in patients with larger or more ptotic breasts who also have an inferiorly or laterally located tumor. The blood supply to this pedicle is from the internal mammary system from the third to fourth interspaces. When dissected as a full-thickness pedicle, sensation is well preserved. This pedicle is also often referred to as the superior medial pedicle. The medial pedicle also provides excellent aesthetic results in the same manner as the superior pedicle. Unlike the superior pedicle, it is well suited for large volume breast reductions. As a result, the medial pedicle is the senior author’s preferred pedicle in the setting of large volume breast reductions.
6.7 Inferior Pedicle
The inferior pedicle is known as a safe and reliable pedicle and for many plastic surgeons remains the standard pedicle for breast reductions. Maintenance of blood supply, sensation, and breast-feeding potential are benets. This pedicle is supplied by a perforator from the internal mammary system via the fourth interspace, just medial to the breast meridian and about 5cm above the IMF.This pedicle may be selected in cases of superior, medial, or lateral tumors. The major disadvantage of the inferior pedicle is that its aesthetic results over time are comprised as it is prone to “bottoming out.” This refers to lack of upper pole fullness and less cleavage with the bulk of the volume of the breast in the lower pole.

6.8 Central Pedicle
The central pedicle has a similar blood supply to the inferior pedicle; however, it is less reliable because some of the perforators are cut at the time of resection when the resection involves the inferior-most tissue of the breast. A central pedicle may be considered in the cases of tumors at the peripheral-most aspects of the breast. The senior author rarely uses this as the pedicle of choice.
6.9 Lateral Pedicle
The lateral pedicle is a reliable option for superiorly, medially, or inferiorly based tumors. Its blood supply is from the lateral thoracic artery via the supercial tho­racic branch. Care must be taken when resecting tissue, as part of the tissue to be removed is also the base of the pedicle. The senior author rarely uses this as the pedicle of choice.
6.10 Operative Technique
The breast surgeon starts the operation by performing the lumpectomy. Again, the incision for lumpectomy is determined jointly by the plastic and breast surgeon. The incision commonly incorporates the marks for the breast reduction which is marked in the preoperative area. Upon completion of the lumpectomy, the plastic surgeon starts by selecting an appropriately sized areola marker and the NAC is scored. The marked incisions and selected pedicle are also scored. Local anesthetic preferences vary; typically, either 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine is injected into dis­section planes, or Kleins solution is inltrated into the breast gland. In either case, the base of the selected pedicle is avoided.
The scored peri-areolar area of pedicle is then de-epithelialized with a scalpel. A full-thickness skin incision is then made at the remaining markings, with the excep­tion of the pedicle base. See Fig.3 which demonstrates a medial pedicle, the outline of the new NAC dimensions, and the planned area of de-epithelization of the pedicle and areas for parenchymal resection.
Once dissection is fully complete and hemostasis is achieved, the deeper tissues are brought together and the NAC is inset in its new location. The skin is loosely approximated with staples and the patient placed upright and examined for equiva­lent NAC position and symmetry. Determination is made as far as whether a hori­zontal skin resection is required. Skin closure is nally preformed with absorbable sutures.

7 Post-operative Course
7.1 Postoperative Expectations
The post-operative care is similar to those undergoing breast reduction surgery. While varying among different surgeons, most include 4 to 6weeks of no heaving lifting, no strenuous exercise, and a non-wired bra during this time period. Breast reduction scar patterns will vary depending on the amount of breast tissue resected. The two main scar patterns are the vertical (lollipop shaped) and the inverted (anchor shaped) incision. Minor degree of wound dehiscence is common at the T-junction of the suture lines. Postoperative swelling can last for 6months up to a year.
7.2 Radiation
For patients that require adjuvant radiation therapy, most begin radiation therapy approximately 4–6 weeks after surgery [34]. Possible post radiation changes include breast edema/swelling, shrinkage/retraction, discoloration, subcutaneous
