Breast Reduction

Definition: Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size of the breasts. This transformative surgery aims to address physical discomfort, pain, or self-consciousness associated with excessively large breasts.

Steps:

1. Consultation: A thorough consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon is crucial to discuss goals, expectations, and the surgical process.
2. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
3. Incisions: The surgeon makes carefully planned incisions, typically around the areola, extending vertically to the breast crease or horizontally along the crease.
4. Tissue Removal: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, reshaping the breasts to achieve a more proportionate size.
5. Nipple Repositioning: In some cases, the nipple and areola may be repositioned to align with the new breast contour.
6. Closing Incisions: The incisions are closed with layered sutures, ensuring minimal scarring.

Advantages and Benefits:

1. Physical Relief: Alleviate physical discomfort, including back and neck pain, associated with large breasts.
2. Improved Body Proportion: Achieve a more balanced and proportionate figure.
3. Enhanced Clothing Fit: Enjoy a broader range of clothing options and improved comfort.
4. Boosted Confidence: Reduction in breast size can lead to increased self-esteem and body confidence.

Correction of Asymmetry: Address breast asymmetry, creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
