Abstract

The authors present a less commonly used method in reduction and modelling of gigantomastia. They draw attention to the advantages of this surgical procedure which is based on rotation of the areola with a broad upper and lateral pedicle. They emphasize in particular the very good postoperative nutrition of the areolas with preservation of their sensitivity.
