The buried dermal pennant stitch for the correction of symmastia following breast reduction

In this study, we present a novel approach to correct symmastia in a patient who developed the deformity following reduction mammoplasty. The technique described uses a buried dermal pennant suture, local advancement flaps, and liposuction to correct the symmastia and improve medial breast contour. We believe this technique provides adequate and long-term correction of symmastia in the breast reduction patient and avoids the shortcomings of previously described approaches.Level of Evidence: Level V, therapeutic study
