Abstract

The history of reduction mammaplasty from 1980 until the present day can be seen as a period of refinements of existing techniques that mostly focused on the reduction of the final scar. These existing techniques were established from the late 1950s to the late 1970s, a period defined as a “period of safety” (Psillakis and Cardoso de Oliveira 1990). Many of these techniques share the principle of Lexer and Kraske (Kraske 1923; Lexer 1925), that is, a central wedge dissection in the lower half and an approximation of the lateral poles to form the breast.
