Abstract
The article describes the experience of the senior author over the past 30 years using the glandular dermo-lipo flap. The flap primarily provides an effective enhancement of the shape of the breast that varies according to the age of the patient, skin elasticity, and mammary gland firmness. More than 2000 patients have had this procedure, including those with asymmetric breasts who had the procedure done on only one breast.Keywords
