What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast Reduction Surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of large breasts. The surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create breasts that are more proportionate to the body.
Large and heavy breasts can cause various physical discomforts, including chronic back pain, neck pain, shoulder grooves from bra straps, and skin irritation beneath the breasts. By reducing breast size and reshaping the breast tissue, the procedure helps relieve these symptoms while improving body balance and comfort. In addition to physical benefits, Breast Reduction Surgery can enhance body confidence and quality of life. Many patients experience improved mobility, better posture, and greater comfort during physical activities after the procedure.
How It Works
Breast Reduction Surgery is performed by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the remaining breast tissue to create a smaller, more natural breast contour. The doctor also repositions the nipple and areola to a higher, more proportionate position on the breast. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia.
During surgery, the doctor makes carefully planned incisions based on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome. Common incision techniques include the anchor (inverted-T), vertical (lollipop), or periareolar pattern. After the breast tissue is reshaped and excess tissue removed, the incisions are closed using sutures or surgical adhesives. Over time, swelling gradually subsides and the breasts settle into their new shape, with final results becoming more visible within several weeks to months.
