title: [Reduction mammoplasty with shortened scars: surgical technique].
abstract: Reduction mammaplasty is nowadays one of the most frequently performed plastic surgeries. The main purpose is the reduction of the volume of breasts, but the resulting scars can jeopardize the result of the operation. The Division of Plastic Surgery follows the modern tendency of reducing the length of the incisions and thus the resulting scars. A technique that incorporates this principle was developed with good results. The technique is simple enough to be used in a training program.
