ABSTRACT

Despite this assertion being made without any supporting evidence based on clinical practice and scientific work, the consequences were a complete cessation of research on fat transfer techniques. However, perhaps ironically, a retrospective study published in 1987 in the same journal reported on mammographic findings following mastopexy reduction. Calcifications were found in 50% of all mammograms more than two years from the time of surgery (8). It was commented at the time that a “confident differentiation between benign postoperative calcifications and carcinoma” could be made in most cases (8). A competent radiologist can nowadays usually distinguish between benign, indeterminate and malignant calcification (8-11).
