Description
Raymond Passot was a French plastic surgeon of the early 20th century. During this period women were becoming increasingly interested in enhancing the appearance of their breasts by reduction and lifting. Because of this trend, there was a desire to minimize the scarring on the breasts while still achieving all of the same surgical goals. In this publication, Passot discusses his procedure with a design that involves no vertical scarring. The evolution of the procedure is discussed, as are details of the surgery, including the blood supply to the breast.
