Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate breast reduction techniques in terms of complications, functionality, patient satisfaction, and cosmetic outcomes.

Detailed description

A breast reduction is a common operation with a fairly high complication rate as large incision techniques require undermined skin flaps to be closed under tension. This study is evaluation the open incision breast reduction technique to a liposuction assisted breast reduction. This study will evaluate these two breast reduction techniques in terms of complication rates, functionality, patient satisfaction, and cosmetic outcomes. Participants will be asked to complete the BREAST-Q survey regarding their breast reduction postoperatively.

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Postoperative Complication Rate	Postoperative Period (Average of 1 year following surgery)	To determine if liposuction assisted breast reduction has a lower postoperative complication rate as opposed to open incision breast reduction
Breast Reduction Success Rate	Postoperative Period (Average of 1 year following surgery)	To determine if liposuction assisted breast reduction has a higher success rate as opposed to open incision breast reduction based on postoperative outcomes.
