Figure 1 (A) Design of the vertical dermaglandular bipedicle with dermal suspension flaps and excision of excess tissue from medial and lateral areas. (B) The remaining breast tissue suspension by dermal flaps in an internal brassiere form, the triangular dermal flaps on either side of the dermaglandular pedicle, are transposed to the lateral aspects of the pedicle so as to wrap and support the already folded pedicle, and sutured to the pectoral fascia without tension.

Figure 3 (A) Twenty-six years old patient who underwent classical McKissock's technique-preoperative anteroposterior view. (B) Patient who underwent classical McKissock's technique-preoperative oblique view. (C) Patient who underwent classical McKissock's technique-postoperative anteroposterior view (16th month). Secondary ptosis of the breast tissue can be seen. (D) Patient who underwent classical McKissock's technique-postoperative oblique view.
