| Popis: | A retrospective study of 350 reduction mammaplasties by the inferior pedicle technique performed over a 3-year period allows a critical evaluation of postoperative complications and patient satisfaction. The procedure can be done in a timely manner on an outpatient basis and is applicable to breasts of different shapes and sizes. The rate of postoperative complications (5%) was comparable with previous studies. Patient satisfaction was high (98%), with near-total relief of preoperative symptoms. Concern about the resultant scars was low (2%) when the incisions followed the natural contour of the breast. |
