Nipple-bearing inferior flap mammaplasty: a new technique for reducing massive breasts.
Patients with massive breasts may also suffer from concurrent obesity and preexisting cardiac and respiratory problems, thus presenting significant anesthetic and surgical risk. A modified new technique, evaluated by means of three cases, is described. Preliminary findings show a rapid surgical operating time, little blood loss, acceptable aesthetic appearance, and high patient satisfaction.
