Surgery Spotlight: Superomedial Pedicle Breast Reduction Part 2 - Patient Markings

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a breast reduction procedure for a 20-year-old patient who is 5'5.5" tall and weighs 120 pounds. Key highlights include the importance of determining the upper breast border, which is a critical and stable landmark that helps guide the surgery. The surgeon discusses the process of marking out the breast meridian, nipple position, and areola, emphasizing that the procedure is more about reshaping the breast tissue (parenchyma) rather than managing the skin. The transcript details technical aspects, such as pedicle choice and how the inframammary fold functions in planning the surgery.
