AB  - As older people increasingly care for their body image and remain active longer, 
      the demand for reduction mammaplasty is increasing in this population. Only a few 
      studies of reduction mammaplasty have specifically focussed on the outcomes in 
      elderly women. We developed a new breast reduction technique: the 
      Liposuction-Assisted Four Pedicle-Based Breast Reduction (LAFPBR) that is 
      especially indicated for elderly patients. The aim of this paper was to describe 
      the LAFPBR technique and to determine whether it could be considered a safer 
      option for elderly patients compared to the superomedial pedicle (SMP) technique. 
      A retrospective study included sixty-two women aged 60 years and over who 
      underwent bilateral breast reduction mammaplasty. Thirty-one patients underwent 
      LAFPBR and 31 patients were operated using the SMP technique. Complications and 
      patient satisfaction in both groups were analysed. Patient satisfaction was 
      measured using a validated questionnaire: the client satisfaction questionnaire 8 
      (CSQ-8). The LAFPBR technique required less operating time, and avoided 
      significant blood loss. Six minor complications were observed in SMP patients. No 
      LAFPBR women developed a procedure-related complication. Patient satisfaction was 
      high with a mean score of 29.65 in LAFPBR patients and 28.68 in SMP patients. The 
      LAFPBR is an easy procedure that appears safer than SMP and results in a high 
      satisfaction rate in elderly women.
