M oday, M arch 7, 2017 reduction (SPAIR) mammaplasty. This technique utilizes an inferior pedicle, circumvertical skin resection pattern, and purse-string peri-areolar closure to achieve a stable and aesthetic breast shape. Late breast distortion from seroma formation is rare complication than may occur after an initially satisfactory result. Contraction of the seroma cavity may cause the surro...
