Breast size classification was done using cup size as follows: large breasts (>350 cm3); medium breasts (250–300 cm3), small breasts (<250 cm3).

Quadrant per quadrant Atlas (orientation for left breast) has been intended as follows [14]: Q1 = upper outer quadrant 1–2 o'clock; Q2 = upper inner quadrant 9–11 o'clock; Q3 = lower outer quadrant 4–5 o'clock; Q4 = lower inner quadrant 7–8 o'clock; Q5 = central subareolar with NAC resection; Q1–Q2 = upper pole 12 o'clock; Q3–Q4 = lower pole 5–7 o'clock.
