Breast Reduction
Procedure
The aim is to reduce the size, and reshape the skin, areola, and breast parenchyma.
Results
Healing may take up to 2 months and certainly continues for several months thereafter.
Indications
Women complain of poor posture, neck and back ache, skin irritation, deep bra furrows, and poor fitting in clothes. They silently suffer from psychosocial embarrassment and avoid sports.
Complications
Wide scars, poor skin healing, asymmetry, and boxy shape are some of the problems that might occur and will require further treatment.
Recovery
Couple to several months. By far, most patients are very happy that they underwent this surgery.
Anesthesia
General.
- Will you lift the breast as well?
- How small will the breast become?
- Will you graft on my nipple?
Yes, breast lift and reduction are incorporated into the surgical plan.
This depends on the breast dimensions and your desire.
Modern techniques rarely require nipple grafting. Even with huge breasts, the nipple areola complex is carried on a vascularised pedicle.
