Article Abstract
Mammary hypertrophy, or macromastia, is an increase in breast tissue volume due to multiple etiologies and still unknown pathophysiology. We report the case of a 45-year-old patient with juvenile macromastia, which caused cervical pain and decreased quality of life. It was decided to perform a reduction mammoplasty with a modified McKissock technique with a free nipple graft; the resected glandular tissue was 1039 grams in the right breast and 1029 grams in the left breast. An adequate projection of the upper pole was achieved with a good aesthetic result and clinical improvement of the patient.

Use of Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Surgical Site Infection Prevention in Nononcologic Breast Surgery: A Scoping Review.
Ann Plast Surg
September 2025
From the Department of Plastic Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.
Background: The practice of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) in breast surgery remains debated. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature evaluating the current evidence on the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in nononcologic breast surgery, including risk-reducing mastectomy, gender-affirming mastectomy, augmentation, and reduction.
Methods: A literature search of PubMed and Cochrane databases of 1990-2025 was conducted to identify studies evaluating antibiotic prophylaxis and SSI outcomes in nononcologic breast surgery.

: The association between female breast size and spinal back pain is widely suggested in clinical practice but remains insufficiently quantified in general, non-surgical populations in the scientific literature. Larger breasts may increase biomechanical strain on the spine, contributing to musculoskeletal pain and reduced quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the association between breast size and back pain in a general orthopedic population of young women.

Background: Patients undergoing plastic surgery often have higher rates of psychiatric disorders, which may influence surgical outcomes and quality of life (QoL).
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with and without psychiatric comorbidities who underwent reduction mammoplasty or body contouring (panniculectomy and/or abdominoplasty) from 2016 to 2022 was conducted. Propensity-score matching considered age, BMI, ethnicity, bariatric surgery history, ptosis, and breast tissue mass.

Background: This trial aimed to compare the influence of administering a single dose or 24h of prophylactic antibiotics on surgical site infection (SSI) rates after reduction mammaplasty.
Methods: This is a randomized, non-inferiority, parallel-arm clinical trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. One hundred forty-six participants undergoing reduction mammaplasty were randomly assigned to the placebo group (PG), which received cefazolin 1g at the time of anesthesia induction (n=73), or to the antibiotic group (AG), which received cefazolin 1g at the time of anesthesia induction and every 6h for 24h (n=73).
