One patient underwent the third operation 6 months after because of the obvious scar, and the result was yet unsatisfactory 1 year later.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>No matter which pedicle was used in the first reduction mammaplasty, a periareolar incision or original incision with wedge-shaped glandular tissue resection is a safe method for repeated reduction mammaplasty.</p>
