Abstract:
The surgical correction of macromastia is justified on both physical and psychological grounds. Hypertrophy of the breast may alter the development of the body, causing severe damage to the spinal cord. It may also condition the psychological or mental development of the patient, even going so far as to bring about fully fledged psychoses. The definitive scars of the surgical correction are generally accepted by the patients.
