BREAST REDUCTION
What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and volume of overly large breasts. It aims to relieve physical discomfort, improve mobility, and enhance the body’s overall proportions. This procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and more lifted breasts that complement your body’s natural shape.
Types of Breast Reduction
Traditional Breast Reduction:
Removes a significant amount of tissue and skin, ideal for those with excessively large breasts.
Vertical Breast Reduction ("Lollipop" Technique):
Involves fewer incisions, leaving a scar around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease.
Scarless Breast Reduction:
Utilizes liposuction to remove fat and reduce breast size with minimal scarring. Best suited for those with good skin elasticity and mild to moderate reduction needs.
