Abstract

The authors describe a mammoplasty reduction technique that they believe is safe owing to modern cutaneous resection and adequate areolar nourishment. It is made possible by maintaining a large pedicle that is also versatile as it can be used on all kinds of breasts. Good results can be reproduced by other surgeons.
