Abstract

Background and Clinical Significance: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, debilitating skin disorder that often affects the inframammary fold (IMF). While surgical management, particularly wide local excision (WLE), is the gold standard for severe cases, less is known about the role of breast surgery techniques in treating HS in this area; Case Presentation: This report presents two cases of female patients with bilateral inframammary HS and mammary hypertrophy, both treated with reduction mammaplasty to excise diseased tissue while addressing breast volume and contour. Both patients had experienced inadequate response to medical therapies, including biologic treatments, and presented with distinct clinical features—one with significant asymmetry and active disease, and the other with more scarring and hypertrophic lesions. During follow-up, no recurrence of disease was observed and both patients reported improved breast appearance and satisfaction; Conclusions: These cases underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, with dermatologists and surgeons both playing a key role in the management of this complex condition.
