About Breast Reduction
Patients who experience problems such as chronic back and neck pain, breast pain during physical activities, redness under the breasts and hunched posture posture may prefer this procedure due to both cosmetic concerns and physical discomfort.
If there is sagging breast skin, the size and position of the breast can be reshaped by removing excess skin during breast reduction surgery. The problem of excess breast tissue in male patients is called gynecomastia.
How is the Procedure Performed?
Breast reduction surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. Your surgeon completes the markings on the breast according to the incision technique that is appropriate for your case and that you have decided upon. Excess breast tissue, fat and skin are removed for breast reduction. The remaining breast tissue is positioned more upright and more proportionate to your body. The nipple and areola are placed higher on the newly shaped breast for a natural appearance and in some cases, the size of the areola can be reduced. The incisions are closed with self-dissolving sutures. There is no need to remove the sutures externally.
Incision and Scar
- Anchor or Reverse T Technique: It is the most common technique for breast reduction. An incision is made around the areola, a vertical incision from the areola to the inframammary fold and a horizontal incision along the inframammary fold. It is possible to remove a large proportion of breast tissue in this technique.
- Vertical or Lollipop Technique: In this technique, the incisions are around the areola and in the form of an incision extending vertically from the areola to the inframammary fold. It is suitable for patients who are in need of a moderate breast reduction.
- KShort Scar or Circumareolar Technique: This technique involves a single incision around the areola. It is suitable for patients who need minimal breast reduction and may result in less scarring.
