The base of the breast is not broad-based but rather constricted so that the breast appears more like a tube than a cone. The operations applied to different patients are different from each other. It is the most suitable way to discuss with the patient decide on the operation type. The possible need for breast augmentation, breast reduction or mastopexy should be discussed with the patient.
