Functional and aesthetic aspects make the reduction mammaplasty a favoured surgical procedure. The vertical technique, as well as the technique with central pedicle have clearly gained in importance next to the traditional T-cut technique. We provided questionnaires to a random sample of 110 patients who had been treated according to the method of Strömbeck-Weiner. The results were evaluated and compared with the literature. Our results show that the functional complaints were largely eliminated by the surgery and that the patients experienced a significant improvement in their psychological well being. The applied method produces a satisfactory shape of the breast with programmed ptosis, and to large extent retains the nipple-areola sensitivity. One shortcoming of this procedure is the scar formation which 20 % of the patients found bothering. However, 94 % of the patients would choose the procedure again. We conclude that the reduction mammaplasty with reverse T-technique according to Strömbeck-Weiner continues to be of value for patients with a desired weight reduction of more than 500-600 g and patients over the age of fourty. |
