title: [Reduction mammaplasty in breast cancer surgery].
abstract: Reduction mammaplasty techniques enable the breast cancer surgeon to provide an integral surgical treatment, thus significantly increasing and improving surgical options. These techniques are used to correct problems after the conservative treatment of type 1 breast cancer and to achieve symmetry between the breasts after mastectomy. They are also the basis of cosmetic reconstruction techniques in conservative oncoplastic surgery.
