Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and tissue from the breasts to reduce their size and improve their shape.

Who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?

A woman who has difficulty exercising or finding clothes that fit.
A woman who experiences skin problems with her breasts.
A woman who is in good overall health and does not have chronic medical conditions.
A woman who has realistic expectations about the results.
What steps should I take before breast reduction surgery?
Consult a qualified surgeon: You will meet with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations for the surgery, assess your health, and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Medical tests: Your doctor may order some medical tests to ensure your overall health.
Discontinue certain medications: You may be asked to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, a certain amount of time before surgery.
Quit smoking: It is recommended to quit smoking at least 6 weeks before surgery, as it can negatively impact the healing process.
What are the techniques for breast reduction surgery?
The techniques for breast reduction surgery vary depending on the size, shape, and degree of sagging of the breasts. Some common techniques include:
Periareolar: A circular incision is made around the areola, and excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed. The nipple and areola are then repositioned.
Vertical: A vertical incision is made from the nipple to the crease under the breast, and a horizontal incision is made across the crease. Excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed, and the nipple and areola are repositioned.
Inverted T: An inverted T-shaped incision is made, and excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed. The nipple and areola are repositioned.
What are the risks and potential complications of breast reduction surgery?
Loss of sensation: You may experience some loss of sensation in the nipple or breast.
Changes in breast shape: The results may not be perfectly symmetrical or may differ from your expectations.
Delayed wound healing: The wound may take longer to heal than usual.
Fluid collection: Fluid may accumulate under the skin after surgery, which may require draining.
Anesthesia: You may experience side effects from anesthesia, such as nausea and vomiting.
What is the recovery period after breast reduction surgery?
You will need to stay in the hospital for at least one night after surgery. You will experience some pain and discomfort, but you will be prescribed pain medication. You will also need to wear a compression bra for 6-8 weeks to help support your breasts as they heal. You will be able to resume your usual daily activities within 2-3 weeks, but you may need to avoid strenuous activities for several more weeks. You will be able to see the final results of the surgery after 3-6 months.
What are frequently asked questions about breast reduction surgery?
Will the surgery affect my ability to breastfeed?
It depends on the surgical technique used. If the nipple or areola are cut, the surgery may affect your ability to breastfeed.
Will I have scars after surgery?
Yes, you will have scars after surgery, but they are usually inconspicuous. The scars are hidden in the folds of the breasts or around the areola.
When will I be able to see the final results of the surgery?
You will be able to see the initial results of the surgery after a few days, but it will take 3-6 months to see the final results.
How long do the results last?
The results of breast reduction surgery are long-lasting, but they may be affected by weight changes, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
