A ten-year experience with reduction mammoplasty and abdominoplasty. What is happening in our part of the world?
The authors update their experience with 124 reduction mammoplasties (including mastopexy) and 67 abdominoplasties and discuss their applications of these procedures in Turkey. In almost all cases the Strömbeck procedure for mammoplasty and the Grazer and Pitanguy procedures for abdominoplasty were used. They present problems encountered in performing such operations and their solutions.
