What is Wise-Pattern Superomedial Dermoglandular Pedicle Technique: Improves Breast Upper Pole Fullness and Breast Proportions about?

Background: This study aimed to analyze postoperative upper pole fullness, upper/lower pole ratios, bottoming-out deformity, and complication rates for patients who underwent planned bilateral reduction mammoplasty for gigantomastia using the superomedial dermoglandular pedicle technique and Wise-pattern skin excision. Methods: A total of 105 consecutive patients were evaluated postoperatively within a year in full lateral position, and the upper pole was between the lines drawn horizontally from the nipple meridian, where the breast became evident on the chest wall. Flat and slightly convex upper pole slopes were considered well-rounded; the concave ones were evaluated as exhibiting decreased fullness. The lower pole was the height between the horizontal line passing through the level of the inframammary fold and nipple meridian. Bottoming-out deformity was evaluated according to the 45/55% ratio developed by Mallucci and Branford, where the bottom pole was above 55%, at which it was held to be leaning toward bottoming-out deformity. Results: The upper and lower pole ratios were 44.79% ± 2.80% and 55.21% ± 2.80%, respectively. In 4 cases, a lower pole distance of >55% was leaning
