Abstract:
:Mortality rates have decreased in medically compliant patients with HIV. More HIV-positive patients are requesting procedures that improve their quality of life. Reduction mammoplasty has been proven to predictably relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain related to macromastia. A case report is presented demonstrating an HIV patient who underwent a reduction mammoplasty for symptomatic macromastia.
