New technique uses your own skin to prevent sagging after breast reduction
NCT ID NCT07657962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a small piece of a woman's own skin as a support during breast reduction surgery can help prevent the breast from sagging again. 70 women having the surgery will be split into two groups: one gets the extra skin support, the other does not. Researchers will measure breast shape changes over 6 months to see if the skin graft makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous free dermal graft (patient's own skin used as a support during surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could help women who have breast reduction surgery maintain a better breast shape for longer, reducing the chance of sagging.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study, not a randomized trial. The graft may not prevent sagging, and results may not apply to all patients. There are standard surgical risks like infection or poor healing.
