Preoperative (A) and 6-month postoperative (B) orientation-matched photographs of a 43-year-old woman treated with a vertical breast reduction, using a medial pedicle. Resection weights: right breast, 953 g; left breast, 1040 g. The suprasternal notch-to-nipple distances were 37 cm on the right and 38 cm on the left. Despite the severe ptosis, the preoperative right nipple displacement is only 3.8 cm. Reproduced with permission from the work by Swanson.
