Abstract: | With more than 20 years' experience with using my L method in reduction mammaplasty, I realize that very little has changed in my philosophy. With the L technique one can achieve a perfect shape with a minimal scar and avoid a medial scar toward the sternum. I use only the lower access with upper vascular protection, abandoning the inferior vascular base of the flap. This procedure has new competition including techniques that yield a simple vertical scar or only a periareolar scar. However, up to now it is not possible, with any technique, to achieve a satisfactory shape for exigent patients. When I explain to potential patients the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods, in most cases they choose the L technique. |
