If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammoplasty, you may be wondering what the procedure involves. Essentially, during the surgery excess fat and glandular tissue is removed from the breast, making them smaller, lighter and firmer. The breast reduction procedure is similar to a mastopexy, but usually results in a more dramatic reduction in breast size. Even without the physical discomfort that large breast can bring, many women opt for breast reduction surgery to achieve more balanced and aesthetic body contours.
The surgery involves reducing the size of the breast so that they are in proportion with the rest of the body. Breast Reduction Surgery Procedure Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort. Next, the surgeon will make an incision. The areola (the darker area around the nipple) is reduced in size if needed, and the nipple is repositioned. The underlying breast glandular tissue, fat, and excess skin are removed.
The breast implant is shaped and lifted to create a more youthful, aesthetically-pleasing appearance. Sutures are placed in the deep tissues in order to sustain the newly contoured breast tissues. The skin incisions are sutured and held together with surgical tape. A bandage is applied to help with healing and to keep the swelling down.
