title: Breast reduction: B technique.
abstract: The B breast reduction remains an excellent technique. It gives a small scar, well located, and a natural looking breast with good projection (Figs. 5, 6, and 7). In comparison to most classical techniques, the breast has less tendency to become flat with time, and the nipple-areola complex does not migrate up while the breast tissue sags down, but follows, like a nonoperated breast. It certainly is the method of choice in all kinds of mastopexies where it is useless to make long scars when short ones give a more aesthetic result.
