Understanding Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of oversized breasts. The procedure involves the removal of excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, resulting in a more proportionate and comfortable breast size.
One of the key benefits of breast reduction surgery is the relief from physical discomfort. Large breasts can cause neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation and indentations from bra straps. By reducing the weight and size of the breasts, these issues can be alleviated, improving your overall quality of life.
Incision options for breast reduction surgery include:
- Circular pattern around the areola
- Keyhole-shaped pattern with an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease
- Inverted T or anchor-shaped pattern
Incision lines do create visible and permanent scars; however, breast reduction scars are well-concealed beneath a bra or bathing suit. During your breast reduction, the areola may also be reduced if necessary.
