Abstract

The concept of oncoplastic surgery (OP) is not so complicated. If the surgeon can manage three “basic” reduction mammaplasty techniques such as techniques derived from the upper nipple and areola blood supply (superior pedicle) [1–3], techniques derived from the lower/posterior nipple and areola blood supply (inferior pedicle) [4–7], and techniques derived from glandular nipple and areola blood supply (periareolar) [8, 9], it is possible to solve around 90% of the cases. In this chapter, the goal is to show you possible solutions in special cases that seem initially too much complicated due to anatomical variations, tumor locations, or patient’s wishes.
