Three cases are presented of complications after bilateral subcutaneous mastectomy with immediate prosthetic replacement, performed for benign breast disease in women who ranged in age from 24 to 32 years, by surgeons outside the field of plastic surgery. This article is submitted as a plea to curb a rapidly increasing tendency by general surgeons to perform a basically mutilating operation on young women with benign breast disease.
