Introduction!#!Reduction mammaplasty in patients with gigantomastia is challenging. The Double-Unit technique with a Superomedio-Central pedicle and inverted-T incision is the standard technique for reduction mammaplasty in our clinic. The aim of this study was to review our approach in cases with gigantomastia in comparison with the current literature.!##!Patients and methods!#!From 01/2011 to 12/2017, we performed 831 reduction mammaplasties in 630 patients. The Double-Unit Superomedio-Central (DUS) pedicle and inverted-T incision was implemented as a standard procedure for gigantomastia. Patient demographics and the outcome parameters complication rate, patient satisfaction with the aesthetic result, nipple sensibility, and surgical revision rate were obtained and retrospectively analyzed.!##!Results!#!In 37 patients, 55 reduction mammaplasties were performed with more than 1000 g per breast. Mean resection weight was 1311 g on right side and 1289 g on left side. Mean age was 52.5 years, mean body mass index was 32.8 kg/m!##!Conclusion!#!The Double-Unit technique with a Superomedio-Central pedicle and inverted-T incision is very effective to achieve volume reduction and aesthetically pleasing reproducible results with a low complication rate in cases with gigantomastia.!##!Level of evidence!#!Level of Evidence This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
