Hypoplasia of the lower medial quadrant of the breast.
A corrective surgical technique is described for a newly defined deformity: hypoplasia of the lower medial quadrant of the breast. It involves reducing the usually enlarged nipple-areola complex and reshaping the breast by turning a glandular pedicled flap from the fairly large upper two quadrants on a medial base into the underdeveloped site of the medial lower quadrant. The method proved uniformly successful in 11 cases and 17 breasts involved.
