Reduction mammaplasty with a vertical bipedicle and transverse scar: a follow-up.
A technique for reduction mammaplasty has been developed. The method has been used in 174 patients and the complications and final results have been analysed. If a transverse scar can be accepted the method gives an attractive, predictable shape, with very few complications and very little morbidity.
