What Is
Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2.5-3 hours. Breast reduction operation can be performed with three different techniques.
1- Inverted T technique
 In this technique, both enough breast tissue can be removed and a more upright appearance can be achieved in the breast. This method is the most commonly used method for breast reduction by plastic surgeons. In this method, first a drawing is made on the breast tissue and the new location of the nipple is determined. Then, the breast is reshaped by making an incision and removing excess breast tissue and skin.
2- Lollipop technique
 In this technique, the operation is performed by making a vertical incision downwards from the nipple. This technique can be preferred in relatively smaller breasts, but is not preferred in patients with breast sagging.
3- Liposuction
 It is a breast reduction method performed by liposuction of the breast tissue and removal of excess fat, but it is not preferred because it is not very effective.
 

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure that is used to reduce the size of overly large breasts. It can be an effective surgical solution for women who are self-conscious about the size of their breasts, as well as for individuals who experience physical pain or discomfort due to the weight of their breasts.
 
In order to perform breast reduction surgery, a surgeon will make an incision on the breast, usually around the areola and nipple. The incision will be made in such a way as to minimize scarring and improve the overall appearance of the breasts. The size of the incision will depend on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed.
Once the incision has been made, the surgeon will remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breast. The remaining tissue will then be reshaped in order to create a smaller, more proportionate look. The nipple and areola may need to be repositioned in order to create a more natural appearance.
Once the surgery is complete, the incision will be closed with sutures and the breasts will be bandaged. The bandages will need to be worn for a few days in order to reduce swelling and promote healing.
Breast reduction surgery is a relatively safe procedure, however it is important to note that there are some risks associated with it. These risks include infection, bleeding, and scarring. It is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon before undergoing the procedure.
Overall, breast reduction surgery is an effective way to reduce the size of overly large breasts. It can help to reduce physical pain and discomfort, as well as improve the overall appearance of the breasts. However, it is important to have an in-depth discussion with your surgeon to ensure that the procedure is right for you.
