title: Breast reduction for asymmetrical hypertrophy.
abstract: Design details of reduction of asymmetrical hypertrophy of the breasts are discussed. The concepts apply to nearly any breast reduction technique, although here they are presented in the context of the inferior segment method, which we favor. Although most of these points may seem self-evident to the experienced plastic surgeon, there has been little written about the details.
