The augmentation-reduction mammaplasty.

The authors have presented a technique of augmentation mammaplasty with simultaneous treatment of glandular ptosis. They recommend this double procedure-one operation surgery for those with small and ptotic breasts, where treatment by a single procedure would not suffice to give an esthetically proportioned breast. This technique is simple, should pose no circulatory problems to the involved flaps, offers a short hospital stay and a fast recovery, and avoids two separate procedures.
