Exploring the Rise in Adolescent Reduction Mammaplasty
As obesity rates rise, the prevalence of ARM has increased even more rapidly, with elevated body mass index and higher ASA individuals at an increased risk for complications. Operative time, anesthesia duration, and length of stay decreased over time, with low overall complication rates. Plastic surgeons should note these trends to provide adequate care for patients requesting ARM.
