This ebook provides plastic surgeons, plastic surgery residents, and allied physicians with a master-class on Reduction Mammaplasty (Breast Reduction), including insurance preauthorization, strategies for operation, preserving nipple sensitivity, and benefits of differing incisions. Readers will also experience a detailed CME article which highlights the levels of evidence with regard to preoperative through postoperative care and watch several videos, including a vertical reduction/mastopexy operation.
