I am getting a breast lift and augmentation. What is a pedicle? (Photo)

Asked By:lauravanny in Mill Valley, CA

I am getting a breast lift and augmentation. I have very small breasts post wls. I know my surgeon intends to reshape the breast tissue I have, rather than using a skin-only approach to the lift. I started looking into the different pedicle approaches (I think this applies to lifts as well as reductions?), but am confused by what a pedicle even is! So... 1. What is a pedicle? 2. What is the difference between inferior, superior, medial, etc? 3. Which, in your opinion, is best for my case?
