We present the results of a follow-up of 150 patients after breast reduction by superior pedicle technique performed within the last five years. Objective results, such as scar formation and reduction mass, are presented as well as important subjective results from the point of view of the patients. Pain, sensitivity of the nippel-areola complex and the rate of breast feeding are demonstrated. Problems in sexual behavior and the influence of breast reduction in daily life are discussed.
