title: [Experiences with 2 different techniques of breast reduction-plasty].
abstract: About 58 patients with reduction mammoplasty is reported. 27 women were operated after the technique of Beller and Wagner, 31 women after the technique of Bostwick. The average weight of reduced breast tissue was about 800 g per side in both techniques. The results are reported and critically discussed. The authors prefer the method of Bostwick because of the possibility of more individuality and variability in breast surgery.
