Lee, I looked it up and my surgeon just called it "bilateral reduction mammoplasty" with an equally vague description in parenthesis.

May be similar to keyhole, but I'm not sure.

Perhaps this is the technique Arch was referring to?

The Pedicle Method
The Pedicle Method is the most common technique and reduces size and volume of the breast and improves shaping while preserving both sensation and function. Several incision options are available, which will affect the size and location of the resulting scar. The nipple remains attached to your breast tissue (thus maintaining the option for breastfeeding) but is raised to a higher position on the breast. Surrounding skin and tissue is removed and shaped into a perkier, smaller breast. The remaining tissue is then sewn shut after being fit around your nipple in its new location.

It was basically DI by the pedicle method.
