Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing breast size by removing excess fat, mammary tissue, and skin. This not only reduces their size but also makes them lighter and firmer. During the procedure, the size of the areola is often reduced to achieve a more youthful and proportional appearance.
Women opt for breast reduction not only for aesthetic reasons but also to alleviate physical problems such as back and neck pain, and skin irritations beneath the breast fold caused by the additional weight. Additionally, chronic nerve issues due to poor posture, resulting in numbness or tingling in arms and hands, as well as aesthetic concerns like bra strap grooves and stretch marks, significantly impact patients’ quality of life and self-esteem.
The typical breast reduction procedure can last between 2 to 5 hours, during which the surgeon makes strategic incisions around the areola, downward to the inframammary fold, and through the lower breast fold. Excess fat, skin, and mammary tissue are removed, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to a more natural and aesthetically pleasing height. Incisions are closed with sutures to reshape and contour the breast.
