Video Summary

Dr. Dennis Hammond discusses the "spare mammoplasty," a transformative breast reduction technique in his practice. This procedure employs a circumvertical pattern to reshape and lift breasts effectively for various cases of breast ptosis and macromastia. The process begins with marking essential landmarks while ensuring accurate inframammary fold identification. Important considerations include positioning the areola and nipple based on breast reduction size, using measurements like the breast meridian and inferior pedicle. Accurate marking and positioning ensure the nipple sits correctly on the breast mound, enhancing the overall breast shape after reduction.
