Autologous Free Dermal Graft Support in Superior Pedicle Vertical Scar Reduction Mammaplasty

Effect of Autologous Free Dermal Graft Use on Lower Pole Stability in Superior Pedicle Vertical Scar Reduction Mammaplasty: A Prospective Comparative Cohort Study


Sponsor

Cumhuriyet University Hospital

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Aug 24, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether using an autologous free dermal graft during breast reduction surgery helps maintain lower breast pole shape over time in women undergoing primary bilateral reduction mammaplasty. The main question it aims to answer is: Does autologous free dermal graft support reduce lower pole lengthening between 1 month and 6 months after surgery? Researchers will compare two groups of participants. One group will undergo superior pedicle vertical scar reduction mammaplasty with autologous free dermal graft support as part of routine surgical care. The other group will undergo the same basic breast reduction technique without autologous free dermal graft support. Participants will: * Have their planned breast reduction surgery as part of routine care * Attend postoperative follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months * Have standard breast measurements and medical photographs taken during follow-up * Complete a breast satisfaction questionnaire at 6 months

Interventions

PROCEDUREAutologous Free Dermal Graft Support

Placement of a de-epithelialized autologous free dermal graft in the lower pole region during superior pedicle vertical scar reduction mammaplasty. The dermal graft is obtained from the participant's own de-epithelialized skin during the planned breast reduction procedure and is used as an autologous structural support method. The graft is not vascularized and does not remain attached to a dermal or glandular pedicle. No synthetic or biological mesh material is used.
