Useful Reduction Mammoplasty Technique in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery and Reconstruction

Figure 1

Algorithm for reconstructive breast surgery in true ptotic or pseudoptotic breasts. Patients with breast cancer with ptotic breasts who desired breast reconstruction underwent a nipple or skin-sparing mastectomy (NSSM) using a latissimus dorsi (LD) flap or implant or a partial mastectomy (PM) with reduction or mastopexy. Patients that did not desire breast reconstruction underwent unilateral reconstruction (unilat. recons.) and were not included in this study.
