Editing Breast reduction (section)

===Therapeutic approaches===

====Medical====
Breast hypertrophy (macromastia and gigantomastia) does not respond to medical therapy, but a weight-reduction regimen for the certain patients can alleviate some of the excessive size and volume of abnormally enlarged breasts.<ref name=pmid15759094>{{cite journal |last1=Sadove |first1=Richard |title=New Observations in Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction |journal=Aesthetic Plastic Surgery |volume=29 |issue=1 |pages=28–31 |year=2005 |pmid=15759094 |doi=10.1007/s00266-004-0029-1 |s2cid=10254920 }}</ref> Physical therapy provides some relief for neck, back, or shoulder pain. Skin care will diminish breast crease inflammation and lessen the symptoms caused by moisture, such as irritation, chafing, infection, and bleeding.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}}

====Surgical====
The traditional surgical techniques for breast reduction remodel the breast mound using a skin and glandular (breast tissue) pedicle (inferior, superior, central), and then trim and re-drape the skin envelope into a new breast of natural size, shape, and contour; it produces long surgical scars upon the breast hemisphere. In response, L. Benelli, in 1990, presented the round block mammoplasty, a minimal-scar periareolar incision technique that produces only a periareolar scar – around the NAC, where the dark-to-light skin-color transition hides the surgical scar.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Benelli |first1=Louis |title=A new periareolar mammaplasty: The 'round block' technique |journal=Aesthetic Plastic Surgery |volume=14 |issue=2 |pages=93–100 |year=1990 |pmid=2185619 |doi=10.1007/BF01578332 |s2cid=35418572 }}</ref>
