Vertical Breast Reduction Mammaplasty in the Adolescent Population
The complication rate after vertical breast reduction in adolescents is comparable to what is reported in the literature for adults, with all complications being minor and not requiring reoperation. Our study supports the safety of this approach in adolescents, although larger resection (≥1000 g) and higher body mass index trend toward higher complication rates.
