Breast Reduction
What is Breast Reduction and How is it done?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess breast tissue and skin. This procedure is often sought after by women who experience physical discomfort, such as neck and back pain, caused by disproportionately large breasts. The technique used for breast reduction typically involves making incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. Through these incisions, the surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the breasts to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing result. In some cases, liposuction may be utilized to remove excess fat. The remaining breast tissue is then repositioned and the incisions are closed, resulting in smaller, lifted, and more youthful-looking breasts. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the recovery period usually involves a few weeks of rest and avoiding strenuous activities to allow for optimal healing.
It is important to note that the specific details of the procedure can vary depending on individual factors and the surgeon's technique. Therefore, it is crucial to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon who can provide personalized information based on your unique circumstances.
