In this prospective, randomized, split-body control trial, we aim to compare complications, patient-reported outcomes, and cost differentials following reduction mammaplasty with prophylactic closed incision negative pressure wound therapy versus standard adhesive dressing.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients * Age 18 years or older * Scheduled to undergo bilateral reduction mammaplasty with a Wise pattern (anchor) incision and a superomedial, inferior, or central mound pedicle at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital or MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital * Able to comply with study procedures and follow-up visits Exclusion Criteria: * Younger than 18 years of age * Biologically male patients * Scheduled to undergo unilateral breast mammaplasty * Currently pregnant or lactating * Use of steroids or other immune modulators known to affect wound healing * Curren…
The prophylactic closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) will be applied to one breast for up to 7 days postoperatively to promote wound healing and prevent complications.
The standard adhesive strip dressing will be applied to one breast immediately after surgery. It provides a protective covering for the wound during the initial healing phase and is the standard of care for incision management.
