Abstract |
The authors present a retrospective study about 20 patients operated for important breast hypertrophy and gigantomastia by the postero-inferior reduction technique. They compare the results obtained by this technique on the breast (projection, breast-feeding) and on the nipple-areola complex (sensibility, pigmentation, nipple projection), with those obtained by the Thorek technique (free nipple grafting). The authors show that this technique is reliable for such breasts hypertrophies, with good esthetics results, and avoid free nipple grafting.
