title: The modified hexagonal technique for reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy.
abstract: In 1982, we described the hexagonal technique for correction of breast ptosis or moderate degree of breast hypertrophy. Since then we have modified the technique mainly to be able to correct the severe as well as the moderate degree of breast hypertrophy. This technique has provided the versatility in achieving good results in various degrees of reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy.
