is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size of excessively large or heavy breasts. The goal of this procedure is to alleviate physical discomfort, improve body proportions, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals with disproportionately large breasts.
How is Breast Reduction performed?
The procedure involves making incisions around the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipple), vertically down to the breast crease, and sometimes horizontally along the fold of the breast. Through these incisions, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed. The remaining breast tissue is then reshaped and lifted to create a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing contour. The incisions are closed with sutures.
Benefits of Breast Reduction:
Reduced Breast Size: Alleviates discomfort and physical strain caused by large, heavy breasts.
Improved Body Proportions: Creates a more balanced and harmonious body shape.
Relief from Physical Symptoms: Eases symptoms such as back pain, shoulder pain, and skin irritation due to heavy breasts.
Enhanced Comfort: Improves overall comfort and ease in daily activities and clothing choices.
Who is suitable for Breast Reduction?
This procedure is suitable for individuals who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and experience physical discomfort or self-consciousness due to overly large breasts. Candidates should ideally be at or near their ideal weight and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Breast reduction offers a significant improvement in both physical comfort and aesthetic balance, enhancing overall well-being and confidence.
