Abstract
Mammaplasty performed with an inverted-T skin resection pattern is a useful technique to treat moderately or severely ptotic breasts. This method of skin resection is conducted via 3 incisional components: periareolar, vertical, and horizontal. In this report, the authors describe a simple modified winch suture that can be inserted with the inverted-T technique to reduce the length of the horizontal incision.Keywords: breast surgery; horizontal scar; inverted T; mammaplasty; winch suture
