About Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed for women with excessively large breasts that may cause physical discomfort, posture problems, or difficulties during daily activities.
This intervention not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the breasts but also enhances overall quality of life.
It is essentially a mastopexy procedure, in which excess skin, breast tissue, and fat are removed to achieve a lighter, more proportionate shape.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

• Reduced physical discomfort: Large breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain or even grooves from bra straps. Breast reduction helps alleviate these symptoms.
• Improved mobility and comfort: Patients often experience greater ease of movement and comfort during everyday activities and exercise.
• Enhanced aesthetic appearance: The procedure provides a more balanced body contour, improving overall proportions.
• Increased self-confidence: Women who have struggled with discomfort or self-consciousness due to large breasts often experience a major boost in self-esteem after surgery.

The Surgical Process

Preoperative consultation: During your initial visit, the plastic surgeon will evaluate your health, discuss your expectations and goals, and determine the most appropriate surgical technique.
Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the operation.
Incisions: The type and placement of incisions depend on breast size and the chosen technique. Common incision patterns include:

• Periareolar incision: around the areola, where the scar blends with the natural color of the nipple.
• Vertical incision: from the areola down to the breast crease.
• Anchor-shaped incision: includes a periareolar incision, a vertical incision, and one along the inframammary fold.

Reduction and reshaping: After the incisions are made, excess glandular and fatty tissue is removed, and the breasts are reshaped for a natural, proportionate contour.
Closing the incisions: The incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings or a special supportive bra are applied to protect the operated area.

Recovery After Breast Reduction

Recovery is usually smooth and relatively quick. Most patients can move around on the same day of surgery and resume normal daily activities after a few days.
More intense physical activities can gradually resume after six weeks. Following your surgeon’s post-op instructions is essential for safe and optimal healing.

Risks and Complications

As with any surgical procedure, breast reduction may involve risks such as bleeding, infection, nipple necrosis, or delayed wound healing — though these occur very rarely.
All potential risks and precautions will be thoroughly discussed before surgery.

Conclusion

Breast reduction is an effective and empowering solution for women who experience physical or emotional discomfort due to large breasts.
