Breast Reduction Surgery is a medical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This procedure aims to create smaller, lighter, and more lifted breasts that are proportionate to the body frame. This procedure has 3 different methods which are Periareolar incision, Vertical incision, and Anchor-Shaped incision. The method is chosen based on the breast size, shape, and the degree of sagging. The goal of the procedure is not only to enhance the appearance of the chest but also to relieve physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by overly large breasts.

The Periareolar incision involves a circular cut around the areola, allowing minimal scarring and faster recovery. This method is often suitable when the breasts are not excessively large. The Vertical incision, sometimes referred to as the lollipop method, includes a cut around the areola that extends vertically down for about 4 to 5 cm, allowing more tissue to be removed and better reshaping of the breast. The Anchor-Shaped incision is the most traditional and effective method for very large or sagging breasts. It combines a circular incision around the areola, a vertical cut down to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the crease, making it possible to adjust the areola position and reshape the breast more precisely.

Breast Reduction Surgery provides both aesthetic and functional benefits. It can help relieve chronic muscle tension, improve posture, and reduce skin irritation under the breasts. The procedure also enhances overall body proportion and allows greater comfort in daily activities and clothing. Many patients experience improved confidence and physical freedom after the operation, as the breasts become more balanced, lighter, and naturally lifted. The results are long-lasting and can significantly improve quality of life when combined with a healthy lifestyle and stable body weight.

Breast Reduction Surgery begins by a detailed consultation with the doctor at the affiliated clinic. During this session, the doctor carefully examines the breast size, skin condition, and overall body proportion to determine the most appropriate surgical method.

On the day of the surgery, general anesthesia is administered to ensure complete comfort throughout the operation. The doctor performs the chosen incision method; Periareolar, Vertical, or Anchor-Shaped, based on the degree of tissue removal required. Excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are then removed to achieve a smaller, lighter, and more balanced breast shape. The remaining tissue is sculpted to form a natural contour, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a higher, youthful position. In some cases, liposuction may be added for additional contouring. Once the reshaping is completed, the doctor closes the incisions with fine sutures and applies sterile dressings for protection and healing.

The procedure usually takes about 3 hours to complete. Most patients stay in the clinic for 1 night for observation and initial recovery. Sutures are typically removed 7 to 14 days after surgery, and follow-up appointments are scheduled 2 to 3 times to monitor healing progress. Daily activities can often be resumed within 4 to 5 days, although full recovery and natural settling of the breasts may take several weeks. Mild swelling and tenderness are expected during the initial phase, but these gradually subside within 7 days.
