The unfavorable breast contours resulting from a reductive mammaplasty or a mastopexy influenced the authors into developing a technique that provided reduction of the breast base and axillary pole, convenient medial position of the lateral pole and substantial conification of the breast tissue to help project the areolomamillary complex to the apex of that cone. From March 1987 to May 1996 two hundred and seventeen operations were performed with this technique that consists of construction of three glandular flaps and maximum preservation of the skin covering. The results obtained showed to be very satisfactory and more lasting.
