Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate breast reduction techniques in terms of complications, functionality, patient satisfaction, and cosmetic outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A breast reduction is a common operation with a fairly high complication rate as large incision techniques require undermined skin flaps to be closed under tension. This study is evaluation the open incision breast reduction technique to a liposuction assisted breast reduction. This study will evaluate these two breast reduction techniques in terms of complication rates, functionality, patient satisfaction, and cosmetic outcomes. Participants will be asked to complete the BREAST-Q survey regarding their breast reduction postoperatively.
