title: A twelve year experience with reduction mammoplasty and abdominoplasty.
abstract: In the last 12 years we performed mammoplasty on 191 patients, using the Wise pattern and the Strömbeck technique. In the same 12-year period, we also performed abdominoplasty in 108 patients, using the Pitanguy and the Grazer procedures. In the last four years we performed suction lipectomy in 43 patients, using the Illouz technique. In this article we present our moderate modifications on these techniques and the complications.
