Expanding Usage of Superior Pedicled Techniques with Reducing Resistance in the Pedicle by Lipoaspiration

CONCLUSION: Liposuction to the pedicle area is an effective and reliable method that both reduces the resistance in the pedicle and overcomes the circulation problems in certain patient groups (groups 1 and 2), increases the mobilization of the pedicle, reduces the breast to the desired size and prevents bottoming-out in the long term and increases the use of superior pedicle techniques. According to our clinical results, it was demonstrated that pedicle vascular mapping with preoperative Doppler sonography was not necessary in these patients.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
