title: Mastopexy and breast reduction in Asians.
abstract: The author describes a method of correcting the ptotic breast in Asians which was first popularised by Dufourmental and Mouly in 1968. This mastopexy by the lateral approach leaves an acceptable scar in the lateral quadrant of the breast. The technique is simple and gives rise to satisfactory results. The author has also employed the same procedure for reduction of moderat breast hypertrophy with or without ptosis.
