Short-scar breast reduction: why all the fuss?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Secondary lymphedema is often observed in postmalignancy treatment of the breast and the gynecologic organs, but effective therapies have not been established in chronic cases even with advanced physiologic operations. Currently, reconstructive surgery with novel approaches has been attempted. METHODS:The h...
