title: Treatment of the breast's lateral pole: adjuvant maneuver to Pitanguy's technique.
abstract: Surgical procedures for the mammary region currently are assuming an important role in body-contouring surgery. Enhancement of results is a constant challenge to the plastic surgeon. A simple and efficient maneuver for resection of the breast's lateral pole based on the mammoplasty technique of Professor Ivo Pitanguy is described.
