Breast Reduction: Achieve Comfort and Balance
Overview
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. This treatment alleviates physical discomfort, improves body proportion, and enhances overall quality of life. By removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, the procedure provides a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing breast size.
Procedure Options
- Techniques: Common techniques for breast reduction include the anchor (or inverted-T) incision, the lollipop (vertical) incision, and the donut (periareolar) incision. The choice of technique depends on the amount of tissue to be removed and the desired outcome.
- Liposuction: In some cases, liposuction alone may be used to remove excess fat from the breasts, particularly for patients with good skin elasticity.
- Combination Procedures: Breast reduction can be combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift, to enhance the overall shape and firmness of the breasts.
Benefits:
- Alleviation of physical discomfort, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Improved posture and ability to engage in physical activities
- Enhanced body proportion and symmetry
- Boosted self-confidence and improved clothing fit
Risks:
- Scarring, which typically fades over time
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Potential difficulty with breastfeeding
- Infection or bleeding
- Asymmetry or unevenness
- Possible need for revision surgery

Recovery and Aftercare
- Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, though heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks.
- Pain Management: Pain, swelling, and bruising are common post-surgery and can be managed with prescribed medications.
- Post-Surgery Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions for wound care, wear a supportive bra, and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process.
