What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery or reduction mammoplasty is the removal of excess tissue, fat and skin from the Breast. It makes the Breasts firmer, less bulky, reduces the size, improves symmetry, eliminates sagging and makes them aesthetically pleasing.

Types:

Breast reduction surgery is performed using any of the two procedures:

  • Liposuction: Liposuction is either done in conjunction with the excision technique or alone. In this procedure, only the excess fat tissue from the Breast is removed. It is a less invasive method and leaves undetectable scars. The results are long-lasting. However, just patients who desire slight to moderate reduction in Breasts size, have minimal or no sagging and good elasticity of skin can achieve optimal results through liposuction. In short, only those women will be benefited by this technique whose large Breast size is because of excessive fat tissue.
  • Excision: Here Breast reduction surgery is performed by making an incision on your Breast and removing excess of glandular tissue, fat and skin. Which procedure will be used to reduce the Breast size depends on the patient’s condition, amount of the reduction, optimum result, surgeons advise and personal preferences.
