Breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammaplasty, reduces breast size by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. Surgeons reshape the breasts to create a smaller, lighter, and more proportional appearance. They often adjust the areola as well to achieve a youthful and balanced look.
Benefits Beyond Aesthetics
Many patients choose breast reduction for cosmetic reasons. However, the procedure also improves overall health and daily comfort. Overly large breasts often cause:
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Skin irritation or rashes under the breast crease
- Poor posture and nerve discomfort, such as tingling or numbness
- Bra strap indentations and stretch marks
- Trouble finding clothes that fit well
- Low self-esteem and limited physical activity
Breast reduction relieves these issues by creating a more comfortable and proportionate bust. As a result, patients enjoy better mobility, improved posture, and greater self-confidence.
How Surgeons Perform the Procedure
The surgery typically lasts between 2 and 5 hours under general anesthesia. The surgeon creates three incisions:
- Around the areola
- From the areola to the breast crease
- Along the natural fold beneath the breast
The surgeon removes the excess tissue, fat, and skin. Then they reposition the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful point. After reshaping the breast, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures to support the new contour.
