Skin-Reducing Mastectomy

Breast cancer surgery has evolved from radical mastectomy, with excision of as much tissue as possible, to subcutaneous mastectomy, with sparing of as much tissue as possible. Skin-reducing mastectomy (SRM) is a single-stage technique that helps us to overcome the cosmetic inadequacy of a Wise pattern skin-sparing mastectomy (final T-inverted scar) in heavy and pendulous breasts by filling the lower-medial quadrant with adequate volume.
