Abstract
This study documents that reduction mammoplasty is a procedure with excellent long-term patient satisfaction. This has not been previously well documented. One hundred nine patients after reduction mammoplasty were surveyed by questionnaire. Results of the questionnaire indicated that the majority of patients were pleased with their breast size and breast shape. The majority had equal-sized breasts. Most were comfortable after surgery and had an easier time buying clothes. Ninety-four percent of patients would have the procedure again. Multiple techniques for reduction mammoplasty were used and there were no significant differences with the exception of a change in nipple sensation. Nipple sensation was best preserved by using the inferior pedicle technique.
