What additional pieces may be added to a basic plastics instrument set for a woman undergoing reduction mammoplasty?
  1. Specimen scale
  2. Areola marker
  3. Doppler probe
  4. Both A and B
Explanation
Answer: D-A specimen scale and an areola marker are additional devices needed along with a basic plastics tray for performing a reduction mammoplasty. The specimen scale is necessary when taking breast tissue off the body; weighing the tissue from each breast will help to maintain symmetry. An areola marker is included to mark the area before cutting. In most cases, the nipple is not completely removed during the procedure.
