Our Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is usually performed through incisions on your breasts with clinical removal of the extra fat, glandular tissue and skin.

Excess fat may be removed through liposuction in combination with the excision techniques in certain cases. If the cause of having large breasts is due to fatty tissue, and excess skin is not a factor, only liposuction may be used in the practice for breast reduction.

The procedure used to reduce the size of your breasts will be determined by your health condition, breast composition, amount of reduction needed, your personal preferences and the physician's counsel.

Breast Reduction Procedure Steps

Step 1 – Anesthesia

Medicines are administered for your comfort during breast reduction surgery. The choices include general anesthesia and intravenous sedation. Your physician will advise on the best option for you.

Step 2 – The Incision

Incision options include:

• A circular pattern around the areola
• An inverted T or anchor-shaped incision pattern
• A keyhole or racquet-shaped pattern with an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease

Step 3 – Removing Tissue and Repositioning

After the incision has been made, the nipple (which remains tethered to its original blood and nerve supply) is then repositioned. The areola is reduced by excising skin at the perimeter, if required.

Underlying breast tissue is reduced, shaped, and lifted. Sometimes, for really bulky pendulous breasts, the nipple and areola may need to be removed and relocated to a higher position on the breast.

Step 4 – Closing the Incisions

The incisions are collected to reshape the now smaller breast. Sutures are layered deep within the breast tissue to create and support the newly shaped breasts. Incision lines are permanent, but in most occasions will fade and considerably recover over time.
