Figure 1 Breast projection in the lateral view: apart from the short scars the enhanced breast projection is one of the most benefits in vertical breast reduction. (A and B) Lateral views of a vertical breast reduction 12 months after the operation and after a resection weight of between 450 and 500 g per breast with pronounced breast projection. (C) For comparison: lateral view 6 months after a conventional T-scar breast reduction (resection weight 500 g per breast) with the more flat breast mound and the long horizontal scar visible in the anterior axillary region.
