Abstract

For the last 7 years, D.H. Lalonde has added the No Vertical Scar breast reduction to his armamentarium of reduction techniques. This operation is almost the same as the inferior pedicle T scar reduction. However, a small modification of the Wise pattern permits the deletion of the vertical portion of the T scar. The first 14 years of the Dr. Lalonde’s practice consisted almost exclusively of the T scar reduction. He currently uses the Vertical reduction, the T reduction, and in over 150 cases, the No Vertical Scar reduction. Indications, technical details, and results of the No Vertical Scar reduction are discussed here.
