acromastia, or benign breast hypertrophy, often leads to symptoms that can be debilitating for individuals. These include pain, intertriginous dermatitis, restrictive respiratory effort, self-esteem issues, limitations on activity participation, and others. 1 Preoperatively, patients with macromastia have been shown to have a significantly worse health-related quality of life compared to the normal population. 1 Bilateral reduction mammaplasty is a very common plastic surgery procedure undergone for macromastia. 2,3 It is known to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, and can often be done as an outpatient procedure. 4,5 In 2018, it was the eighth most common procedure performed by plastic surgeons around the world. The number of these operations performed is also increasing over time, with an increase in 8.5 percent worldwide from 2017

Background: Breast reduction is a common and safe procedure with predicted cosmetic outcomes. Many techniques have evolved over the recent decades. Aims: The aim of this study is to determine what type of breast reduction techniques are currently preferred among board certificated Saudi plastic surgeons and assess the surgeons' satisfaction, surgeon-reported patient satisfaction, and complication rates post breast reduction with the preferred techniques. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. The questionnaire was adapted from previously published studies and distributed to a small group before full-scale distribution to Saudi plastic surgeons by email and communication groups. Results: The mean age of the participants was 45.4 (± 8.9). Most participants were males (82%), and the majority held a Saudi board (44%), and 20% held a Canadian board. Significant differences between different board certifications, held fellowship, and years of experience emerged in terms of surgical preferences. The two most common complications reported by surgeons were suture splitting (34%) and excess scarring (24%). Conclusions: In Saudi Arabia, inverted T resection patterns with superior or superomedial pedicle designs are the standard techniques used in breast reduction, with higher satisfaction rates and fewer complications. Surgical preferences were significantly different between surgeons based on their training and held fellowships.
