Abstract.

This article describes the inverted-T incision technique with the scar placed above the inframammary sulcus for cases of pexy, breast reduction, and augmentation–reduction mammaplasty. This technique preserves the inframammary fold as an important factor in natural breast suspension; the breast mound is easily shaped independent of the skin tension. The gland- and skin sutures are placed separately and independently. This technique has been used on 380 patients in the last 13 years.
