title: Detailed technique of subcutaneous mastectomy with and without mastopexy.
abstract: Successful subcutaneous mastectomy without an unreasonable incidence of complications is achievable only with meticulous attention to detail. Detailed techniques of subcutaneous mastectomy with and without mastopexy and concomitant reconstruction with submuscular implants are described. Based on the results of the present study, the procedure, while not truly prophylactic, does reduce the risk of cancer.
