Breast Reduction
Also called reduction mammoplasty, it is a procedure to reduce large-sized breasts by removing excess tissue, fat, and skin and reshaping the breast.
Signs & Symptoms of Breast Reduction Requirement
- Breast size out of proportion to height and weight
- Indentations in shoulders from tight bra straps
- Heavy pendulous breasts with nipples & areolas pointed downwards
- Back and neck pain, skin irritation, and posture problems
- Limitations in performing sports or other activities
Treatment of Breast Reduction
- The procedure is done under general anesthesia and usually takes 3-5 hours. Three incisions are made around the areola to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin. For extremely large pendulous breasts, it involves repositioning the nipple and reducing the size of the areola, and lifting and reshaping the breast. The nipple and areola may be removed and transplanted to a higher position on the breast. After the removal is completed, the incision is closed with stitches. Sometimes, liposuction is also used if most of the breast is fatty tissue and excess skin is not a problem.
