Breast Reduction Surgeries

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size and weight of the breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. This procedure is commonly sought by individuals who experience physical discomfort, pain, or limitations due to large, heavy breasts. Breast reduction surgery can alleviate symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and difficulty with physical activity.

• Consultation: The process typically begins with a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon will assess the patient's medical history, physical health, breast anatomy, and aesthetic goals. They will also discuss the potential benefits, risks, and outcomes of the procedure.
• Preparation: Before the surgery, the patient will receive instructions on how to prepare, which may include adjustments to diet, medications, and lifestyle habits. Patients may also be asked to quit smoking, as smoking can interfere with the healing process.
• Anesthesia: Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
• Incisions: The surgeon will make incisions in strategic locations, typically around the areola (periareolar incision), vertically down the lower portion of the breast (vertical incision), and horizontally along the crease beneath the breast (inframammary incision). The specific incision pattern depends on factors such as the amount of tissue to be removed and the desired outcome.
• Tissue removal: After making the incisions, the surgeon will carefully remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin from the breasts. The amount of tissue removed will vary depending on the patient's anatomy and goals for breast size and shape.
• Breast reshaping: Once the excess tissue has been removed, the surgeon will reshape the remaining breast tissue to create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing contour. The nipples and areolas may also be repositioned and resized to achieve a balanced appearance.
