title: Skeletal and postural relations in augmentation mammaplasty.
abstract: This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the thoracic skeletal architecture. The relationship between the skeletal configuration and its implications in augmentation mammaplasty are studied. Specific explanation regarding assymetry of the breast is given and caution for a more scrupulous examination prior to augmentation is advocated.
