Inferior pedicle reduction mammoplasty technique has been considered as gold standard, most reliable and been taught routinely .Therefore we used it with the inverted T approach in our early practice, however were not totally convinced with it. After being introduced to the Superio-medial pedicle, we combined it with the vertical scar technique and have been extremely pleased with this method in general. The Superio-medial pedicle maintains bulk and fullness where it is desired the most. The surface area of skin that needs to be de-epithelized is relatively little and the distance that NAC needs to be mobilized is also small. Therefore there is no concern on viability. Combining this pedicle with the vertical reduction or mastopexy has produced quite an attractive technique. Now we are solely using it in primary cases. The surgical time is shorter, easier however the marking process is done freehand and requiring a learning curve.
