The authors have analyzed long-term (4.2 years) results of 68 cases of breast reductions, defined as an excision of 300 g or more per side, operated in the Plastic Surgery Unit of the University Hospital of Geneva. After a brief historical review of breast reductions both subjective and objective results are analyzed and discussed. The subjective results were obtained by analyzing a standard questionnaire sent to the 68 patients. Objective results were obtained by a physical analysis of 35 patients who came for the check-up by a single examiner. 87% of all the patients were satisfied with the results, would repeat the operation again and would recommend it. Although there are still some problems with scar length, width and postoperative glandular function, it is hoped that the newer techniques will solve these.
