Combination of the vertical and periareolar mammaplasty

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Vertical mammaplasty has been perfected and popularized by Madeline Lejour; this technique is one of the most versatile methods of manunaplasty today. The vertical scar from the nipple areola to the submammary line is often much longer and distorted than the conventional mammaplastys. The length of the vertical scar can be reduced by 2–3 cm by combining the skin pattern of the periareolar and vertical mammaplasty. The aesthetic result can be improved by shortening the vertical scar.
