Background: Bottoming out (BO) is a well observed phenomenon occurring after all types of breast reduction (BR) surgery. Our team used 3-dimensional (3D) imaging to objectively demonstrate that significant BO occurs in short, scar medial pedicle (MP) BR during the first postoperative year (POY), with no further changes occurring in the second POY. The following study uses 3D imaging to objectively evaluate how the breast changes during the third POY after short-scar, MP BR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
