Reduction Mammaplasty
Breast reduction greater than 1500 g per side significantly increased risk of hematoma, nipple necrosis, and fat necrosis. Drain utilization did not demonstrate any advantageous effects, rather it increased risk of infection. Future multicenter study will be needed to confirm these findings across different patient referral networks and practice patterns.
