다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As the general Population's interests increase in their physical, cosmetic attractiveness, The number of cases involving mammoplasty has a tendency to increase. And also various mammoplasties are newly introduced in technical aspect of mammoplasty.
The main objectives of cosmetic breast surgery is to make a nice cone shaped breast with the minimum amount of scars left on the skin. In the case of reduction mammoplasty or mastopexy through periareolar incision, the areolar size increases or the shape becomes distorted Therefore, the "periareolar incision" procedure is performed only on the patients with small or moderate-sized breast. It has been reported that these problems were solved by Benelli with his "round block" method, but minor faults were also found. Authors using "mastopexy or reduction mammoplasty through periareolar incision" operated on12 patients with minor modifications compared to Benelli's method.
As a result we reduced the possibility of enlargement or distortion of the nipple-areolar complex. Compared to the "round block" method, our method also reduced the area of deepithelized skin and minimized pleats around nipple-areolar complex. We also found that our method saved operation time, and was much easier to be operated. Our technique allows us to correct protrusion in the lower pole and accurately put the nipple-areola complex in position by the anchoring sutures.
