Conceptualization of the problem in reduction of the large breast is defined. A technique for reduction mammaplasty is presented based on: (1) the Wise-type pattern, (2) wide undermining of skin flaps with definitive sculpting of the breast parenchyma, and (3) utilization of hypotensive anesthesia. A series of 63 patients is presented in which this technique was utilized.
