Abstract
A method is described, which achieves reduction in the size of the breast and allows determination of breast shape, without the distortion of breast tissue and the production of unfavorable postoperative connective tissue tensions, inherent in most currently used techniques. Aesthetically pleasing breasts can be produced more consistently by a sculptural rather than an origami-like approach.Keywords
