Abstract
Unequal breasts following reduction mammaplasty sometimes provide an unfavourable result, despite careful measurements of removed tissue during surgery—Accurate comparison of breast volume during surgery could prevent this problem.—The authors have devised a simple, sterilizable, “mammasizer” which is capable of providing the surgeon with this essential information the moment he most requires it—prior to completion of surgery.
