Reduction Mammaplasty in a Developing Country: A Guideline for Plastic Surgeons for Patient Selection

摘要

BackgroundIn Ghana and most developing countries there has been no standardized study of reduction mammaplasty (RM) in patients with symptomatic macromastia (SM), despite its debilitating effects. This study aimed to analyze the physical and psychological effects associated with female patients who underwent reduction mammaplasty and to develop a guideline for plastic surgeons in developing countries to know the most important signs and symptoms to consider in SM patients.
