چکیده (انگلیسی):

The Goldilocks mastectomy is a method that uses redundant mastectomy flap tissue
alone to create a breast mound in female American patients with macromastia. Goldilocks
mastectomy was performed for obese Japanese females with breast ptosis, and its indications
were considered for Japanese female patients. This report presents the results of five patients
who underwent Goldilocks mastectomy, including one with bilateral breast cancer. The
average age of the patients was 72 years (range: 67e76 years). The body mass index (BMI)
was more than 25 in all the cases. Four patients had invasive ductal carcinoma, and one patient
had noninvasive ductal carcinoma of bilateral breasts. The cosmetic results were found
to be good in two cases [a patient with bilateral breast cancer and a severely obese patient
(BMI Z 39)]. The cosmetic results in the other three cases were poor. Although the reconstructed
breast size was small, this procedure resulted in better cosmetic results than what
would be achieved with the usual method of mastectomy for Japanese patients with bilateral
breast cancer and severely obese Japanese patients
