[Late results after reduction mammoplasty in relation to the weight of the resected tissue].

This is a report on the subjective estimation of breast reduction mammoplasty with regard to the weight of resected tissue. 81 patients followed up have been grouped in 5 sections according to resection weight. In consideration of different aspects (social behaviour, complaints, form-, volume estimation) the subjective judgement on the result has been investigated. Objective and subjective scar quality were faced with each other. Altogether most patients were pleased with the operation result. Best subjective results have been achieved among the groups from 500 to 1500 gm resection weight.
