Is breast reduction plasty in an eleven-year old girl indicated? Case report.
The history and the problems of surgical therapy of an eleven-year old girl with infantile hypertrophy of both breasts is described. It is only by good cooperation between paediatricians and plastic surgeons that the indication for operation can be evaluated. Careful weighing of the "pros" and "cons" will help in making this decision.
