Narrow Inferior Central (NIC) septum –based pedicle: a safe technique to improve aesthetic outcomes in breast reduction

Inferior-central pedicle has some aesthetic drawbacks including hypertrophic scar along the IMF, squaring of the breast contours and propensity to develop long-term ‘bottoming-out’. The aim of the study is to verify if the Narrow Inferior Central (NIC) septum-based pedicle can allow the surgeon to improve aesthetic outcomes compared to the traditional inferior-central pedicle approach.
