Breast reduction using the Thorek technique

Gigantomastia in a rather rare presentation. The images clearly indicate a disruption of the patient’s body proportions — particularly noticeable is the position of the breast’s lower edge, which reaches the mid-forearm level. This is extremely low, as this point normally corresponds to the lower third of the sternum. According to expert plastic surgeons, the only appropriate method of breast reduction in this case is surgery using the Thorek technique. In addition to standard steps, this approach involves transplantation of the areola as a split-thickness flap.
