Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)

Breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and weight of the breasts while improving their shape, position, and overall proportion with the body. It is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation and posture issues caused by excessively large breasts.

The procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, while reshaping the remaining tissue to create a more lifted, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more natural and youthful level, ensuring harmony with the new breast shape.

Breast reduction is also a scar-based procedure, and incision patterns may include vertical (lollipop) or inverted T (anchor) techniques, depending on the degree of reduction required. These techniques are carefully selected to achieve optimal shaping while keeping scars as discreet as possible over time.

Beyond aesthetic improvement, breast reduction significantly enhances quality of life. Patients often experience immediate relief from physical discomfort, improved mobility, and greater ease in daily activities and clothing choices.

Each procedure is tailored individually, focusing on both functional relief and natural, proportionate results that align with the patient’s body structure and expectations.
