Breast reduction: B technique

Plast Reconstr Surg. 1980 Jun;65(6):840-5. doi: 10.1097/00006534-198006000-00023.

Abstract

The B breast reduction remains an excellent technique. It gives a small scar, well located, and a natural looking breast with good projection (Figs. 5, 6, and 7). In comparison to most classical techniques, the breast has less tendency to become flat with time, and the nipple-areola complex does not migrate up while the breast tissue sags down, but follows, like a nonoperated breast. It certainly is the method of choice in all kinds of mastopexies where it is useless to make long scars when short ones give a more aesthetic result.
