The Quadruple Pedicled Reduction Mammoplasty

Nipple-areola complex (NAC) safety, scar reduction and long term aesthetically pleasing results are the components of ideal reduction mammoplasty surgery. We present a technique which maximize nerve and blood supply to nipple-areola complex, besides being versatile, easy, rapid and with pleasing cosmetic outcome. The technique ensures blood supply from superiomedial, superiolateral, superior and posterior regions to nipple (quadruple blood supply).
