Breast reduction and mastopexy, an old love story: B technique update.
In summary, the recent findings of my personal experience with the B technique have been quite helpful and rewarding. I found that drawing a lateral angle when planning the procedure obtains a more circular areola contour and avoids last moment modifications. Also, upper pole undermining allows for an upper pole horizontal plication in the cases of a simple mastopexy. Figures 4 and 5 show results of the B technique. These modifications have been used over the last four years with no special complications and very satisfactory results.
