A new simplified method of mammaplasty

Abnormally large breasts, which may be a factor in psychic disturbance from an esthetic point of view and which appear to be related to habitual abortion and sterility, can be reduced in size and reshaped by a simpler operative procedure than those now in use. The operation takes considerable less time than others used heretofore. It avoids the need for marking the skin beforehand as a guide to the reshaping procedure and then trying to abide by a preconceived plan, which may be difficult, and it permits the ultimate site of the nipples to be selected after the reshaping is done and even after the skin over the entire breast is completely closed.
