The cases were classified into three groups according to the presenting breast problem: hypoplastic breasts,
macromastia, and ptotic breasts.
The reasons that can lead to a secondary breast reduction surgery include insufficient volume excision at the first surgery, development of pseudoptosis due to breast deformity, or recurrence of

Reduction mammoplasty (RM) is one of the most common reconstructive surgical procedures across the world1,2 and is performed to address both aesthetic and reconstructive concerns of patients with
macromastia.3 In histological evaluation of breast reduction specimens, fibrocystic and proliferative breast lesions are frequently seen.3
