ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Giant breast lipoma is an uncommon benign tumor that develops in the breast parenchyma. Wisepatern technique involves lifting the skin in both vertical and horizontal directions to raise and reshape the breasts into a less ptotic shape. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old woman came to the Surgical Oncology Polyclinic with the breast size is asymmetric, the right is 4× larger than the left. The patient's request for a tumor removal procedure with a symmetrical approach on the right breast alone, we opted for a Wisepatern surgical technique. Residual skin tissue was discovered and de-epithelialization was performed to remove it, but it was not discarded and instead inserted into the breast cavity to create the effect of a mass filling empty areas left after tumor removal. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The Wisepatern technique is highly preferred due to its versatility, ease of execution, and ability to achieve consistent outcomes in mastopexy and breast reductions. It effectively addresses excess skin, avoids large dog-ears and longer scars, and allows for a more natural-looking appearance by utilizing a shortened vertical scar and partial subpectoral pocket for implant positioning. CONCLUSION: Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that can effectively treat giant breast lipoma by removing the lipoma and reshaping the breast tissue. However, it is important for patients to be fully informed about the risks and benefits of the procedure and to undergo appropriate follow-up to ensure a successful outcome.
