Objective:
To investigate a safe method for correcting the secondary deformity after reduction mammaplasty.
Methods:
A periareolar incision or original incision was done and the wedge-shaped glandular tissues were removed inferior-laterally in 11 patients.
Results:
10 cases obtained the satisfactory results. One patient underwent the third operation 6 months after because of the obvious scar, and the result was yet unsatisfactory 1 year later.
Conclusions:
No matter which pedicle was used in the first reduction mammaplasty, a periareolar incision or original incision with wedge-shaped glandular tissue resection is a safe method for repeated reduction mammaplasty.
