Superior Pedicle Technique for Breast Reduction | Dr. Daniel Gould

Dr. Daniel Gould co-authored research published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal examining a stepwise superior pedicle technique for reduction of mammaplasty. The approach was designed as an efficient and reproducible option for patients undergoing minimal to moderate breast reduction.

The technique focuses on reducing excess breast tissue while preserving superior and medial breast fullness, supporting a smaller and lifted breast shape. An important component is maintaining a reliable blood supply to the nipple-areola complex while limiting the amount of nipple transposition required.

The authors reviewed outcomes from 62 consecutive patients treated using the technique, evaluating its practical application and associated complications. The study provides a structured surgical framework for balancing tissue reduction, breast shape, vascular reliability, and procedural efficiency.
