Breast reduction.

Large breasts cause problems mainly because of physical discomfort and/or associated emotional problems, and surgery is sought primarily for these rather than for purely cosmetic reasons. Indications for carrying out a breast reduction are given, and important questions are posed and answered to help elucidate many of the factors pertaining to the operation. The overall results that can be expected as well as the possible complications are discussed. A table listing complications in a series of 50 patients is shown. In conclusion, the degree of patient satisfaction that can be expected is briefly discussed.

The present status of breast augmentation.

In breast augmentation the pattern which has clearly emerged with respect to possible complications shows that those encountered a few years ago have now, in experienced hands, almost all been eliminated, with one exception, viz. undue postoperative firmness (capsular contraction). This complication is reviewed in detail, with special reference to its possible aetiology, prevention and treatment. It is concluded that despite this complication, breast augmentation is today a very good and safe operation. Excellent results have been achieved in about 90% of cases, and this figure can be improved upon with further treatment for any complicating firmness.

The reconstruction of unequal or absent breasts.

The different varieties and combinations of unequal breasts, as well as frequently associated defects such as pectus excavatum and absent or maldeveloped pectoral muscles, are discussed. The possible aetiological factors are considered, and the important role that a good history, clinical examination and detailed investigation play, is stressed. The reconstructive treatment of each variety is discussed in some depth. The management and treatment of absent breasts after mastectomy are also considered.
