🩺 What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while lifting the breasts to a more youthful, proportional position.
It is performed under general anesthesia and provides both aesthetic and medical benefits. During the procedure, surgeons reshape the breast, reposition the nipple–areola complex, and remove the weight that contributes to chronic pain or physical limitations. The goal is to achieve lighter, firmer, and symmetrical breasts that complement the patient’s physique.
The surgery may also improve posture, breathing, and overall comfort in daily life. With the right technique and precise surgical planning, breast reduction offers immediate relief from discomfort and delivers long-lasting aesthetic improvements.
Many patients report enhanced confidence, mobility, and quality of life after the procedure.
🩺 Types of Breast Reduction Surgery
- Vertical (Lollipop) Reduction – Suitable for moderate reductions with effective reshaping.
- Inverted-T (Anchor) Reduction – Ideal for larger breasts requiring significant tissue removal.
- Liposuction-Assisted Reduction – Used in selected patients with minimal sagging and good skin elasticity.
- Superomedial or Inferior Pedicle Techniques – Preserve nipple sensation while reshaping the breast.
