Case Discussion
Reduction mammoplasty is a surgical technique designed to reduce the size and volume of breast tissue.
Common mammographic findings:
nipple elevation and parenchymal redistribution, as residual breast tissue shifts to a lower position
architectural distortion, swirling fibroglandular tissue, and straightening of Cooper's ligaments
fat necrosis and calcifications
areolar and inferior breast skin thickening
