Abstract
Breast has been considered as the symbol of the female. Ideal size of the breast was related to the age and culture. The goal of reduction mammaplasty is breast with natural cone shape, minimizing scars, well-placed and sensate nipple-areolar area and maintaining breast physiology. The ideal breast reduction should create beautiful breast with limited scars. We performed 37 cases of reduction mammaplasty. The techniques used were inferior dermal flap technique for 16 cases, vertical reduction mammaplasty for 18 cases, and periareolar round block technique for 3 cases. We compared advantages and disadvantages of the techniques and set up useful guide-lines to match the technique with the problem of each individual. The guidelines are as follow: 1. Inferior dermal pedicle technique is suitable for moderate to severe macromastia with ptosis. 2. Vertical reduction technique is effective for moderate macromastia in young women. 3. Periareolar round block technique is effective for mild to moderate macromastia in young women.
