Current trends in breast reduction.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 1999 September
Current trends in the development of breast reduction surgery include a few minor refinements in classic inverted-T scar methods but, more, the increased use of vertical-scar reduction mammaplasty. The benefits of the latter, which include reduced scar burden and improved long-term projection, are attractive, although the technique itself has proved to be somewhat intuitive and more difficult to master. These shortcomings can be minimized and the technique safely learned by initially applying it to patients with minor degrees of macromastia and ptosis. New modifications and alternative approaches have been introduced recently to address the problematic areas of the vertical-scar technique. A survey of members of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons was undertaken at the 1998 annual meeting to review the current role of various techniques in breast reduction. The results revealed a slow acceptance of vertical-scar methods and the dominance of the inferior/central pedicle inverted-T scar method for a wide variety of macromastia types. Other issues were reviewed; they revealed the minimal role of both blood transfusion and liposuction and that more than half of breast reductions are still performed on an inpatient basis.
