title: [Reduction mammaplasty].
abstract: The Strömbeck reduction mammaplasty is a widely standardized technique with great safety leading to predictably good results if the principles are regarded. The most important point is the position of the nipple. An individual shape of the future breast can be achieved by different positions of the standard Strömbeck pattern or by variation of the pattern itself. The procedures are described and illustrated by the results, showing that the standardized method leaves enough room for individual variations.
