Abstract
The inferior pedicle reduction mammoplasty technique is a very reliable and versatile technique for the immediate reconstruction of lumpectomy defects. It is a common reduction technique that is easy to learn and can be applied in the oncoplastic reduction approach for a tumor defect in almost any location other than pure inferior. The complication rates are favorable, and aesthetic results are predictable in well-selected patients. The decision process, surgical technique, and appropriate postoperative protocols are all discussed.
