Abstract

Medial confluence of the breasts, known as symmastia, has received little attention in plastic surgery literature. By reporting on one case, we present our surgical technique. The chosen method of the reduction mammoplasty is considered to be particularly important. Liposuction is integrated into the surgical procedure. Suggestions made by other authors are discussed.
