Which breast reduction method is safer? study compares two techniques
NCT ID NCT04509037
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at breast reduction surgeries performed between 2013 and 2019 to compare two methods: one using liposuction with a small incision around the nipple, and the other using longer incisions. Researchers want to see which approach leads to fewer complications, better healing, and higher patient satisfaction. The findings could help surgeons choose the best technique for each patient.
