Abstract

Objectives: to assess the No Vertical Scar Technique in Reduction and Lifting Mammoplasty Background: In Egypt, macromastia and breast ptosis are the most prevalent problems among men and women. Consequently, both genders suffer physically and psychologically from these problems. Also, obesity and the appearance of a new era of bariatric surgery create a new demand for surgical aesthetic correction of the breast without the use of an implant, as most Egyptian females prefer, as well as preserving the sensory and lactating functions of the breast while minimizing concealing scars in this procedure. Methods: Patients who were diagnosed to have breast ptosis or macromastia between July 2019 and May 2020 and considered candidates for surgery and meeting the enrollment criteria were included in this prospective, single center, controlled pilot feasibility trial and scheduled to undergo surgery. Results: In this study, 41 patients were assessed for eligibility, 6 patients did not meet the criteria and 3 patients refused to participate in the study. All allocated patients were followed-up and analyzed statistically. Physical Well-Being postoperative ranged between 82 – 100 and a mean value (± SD) of 94.9 (± 6.3) in the studied patients. Conclusions: Women do not want vertical breast scars. Weight transfer relieves pain. Implants are undesirable and not required. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are combined with plastic surgery principles to create beautiful, functional, stable breasts. No vertical scar breast weight transfer is a new universal procedure that satisfies women’s esthetic and functional desires.
