Horizontal Pillar Technique: A Single Pedicle Septum-Based Approach in Reduction Mammaplasty with a Twist

Breast reduction surgery has proven to be a successful treatment for various conditions such as postural disorders, anxiety, dermatological problems, and body image disorders, and is tailored to accommodate each patient's needs and anatomical variations. The author presents a modified approach for reduction mammaplasty using a septum-based superomedial pedicled nipple areola complex (NAC) flap combined with horizontal dermoglandular pillars. This adjustment enhances desired breast projection, potentially eliminating the need for alternative pedicles in most cases.
