Abstract:
Recurrent or persistent macromastia can occur after breast reduction. This may be due to inadequate primary volume reduction, poor postoperative shape, and breast or nipple-areola complex asymmetry. Postpartum breast changes, weight change, and aging can also contribute to recurrent macromastia. The concern in these cases is the altered blood supply to the nipple-areola complex and the safety of nipple-areola complex transposition. Literature on the safety of repeated breast reduction is limited with conflicting approaches. This article discusses an approach to recurrent or persistent macromastia and outlines a modified breast reduction technique that is safe in cases of repeated breast reduction.
