Product Description

In this video, Elizabeth Hall-Findlay, MD, demonstrates a superomedial pedicle breast reduction procedure on the left breast of a 20-year-old patient. At the outset, as the patient is prone on the operating table, she retraces the markings previously made while the patient was standing up, and outlines the topography of the veins, arteries and nerves in relation to the planned incisions. She discusses her infiltration strategy, performs the initial incisions and de-epithelization and discusses the different pedicle options before removing the inferior wedge of breast tissue. She completes the operation and uses liposuction to refine the result.
