Abstract

Background: in patient with major hypertrophy and ptosis a free nipple dermo
glandular flap is procedure of choice a major limitation of this technique is in sufficient
breast projection, using of lateral based dermo-glandular flap can added additional tissue
to increase projection and good filling.
Methods: Marking based on principle of breast; when excised tissue made, marked for
diamond dermo- glandular flap from breast tissue before to excise then de- epithelized
and fix on pectoral fascia.
Results: 8 cases done by this technique; the depending criteria include major breast
hypertrophy and ptosis more than 1500 g, Nipple -areolar transposition >15 cm; no major
complication just superficial Slugging of nipple areolar graft, that heal spontaneously
with good improvement in symptoms and good breast projection and Shape
Conclusions: using lateral based dermo-glandular flap give good shape and breast
projection and effective in major breast hypertrophy and Ptosis.
