Breast reduction surgery is implemented so that excess fat, glandular tissues and skin is removed to grant the person a healthy breast both in shape and size to seize physical pain and discomfort that may impair a person’s daily activities.

• Healthy people
• People with clear understanding of what to expect
• Non smoking people
• People suffering from emotional or physical discomfort due to overly large breasts
• People who experience pain due to overly large breasts’ weight and contour
• People suffering from regular indentations due to bra straps holding the weight
• Skin irritations beneath breast crease made by the pressure of the breasts on the underlying skin
• Stretched skin due to hanging heavy breasts
• Nipples are in disposition due to them hanging blow breasts when unsupported
• Aerolas are stretched due to weight

Incisions are made to extract excess fat and remove excess skin and glandular tissues. Liposuction can be used in coordination with excision apparatus in case both fat and excess skin are to be removed, if fats were the sole factor then liposuction would be sufficient.

Important to know is that the techniques depend mainly on the person’s health condition, breast composition and person preferences regarding desired size.

Step1: Anesthesia

Either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia can be administered though that depends on the recommendations given by the surgeon.

Step2: Incision can be:

• A circular pattern incision surrounding the Areola, usually visible and permanent though concealable under a bra
• A keyhole shaped incision around the areola and down to the crease
• An anchor shaped incision

Step3: Tissue removal or displacement

Nipple is repositioned, areola is diminished if necessary and underlying tissues are reduced, lifted and shaped to gain the best look, in some cases where the breast are over grown and the areola and nipples are greatly out of position then a free nipple graft method is implemented where the nipple is transplanted again.

Step4: Incision closure

Layered sutures are placed deep inside the breast tissues to support the new shape, and other sutures and skin adhesives are applied to close the skin, the lines resulting from the surgery are permanent though in most cases it shall fade or gradually improve.

Step5: Obtained results

Immediate results can be noticed and obtained despite that at first the results can be obscured due to swelling and lines from the surgery though as a person recovers the results will improve and clarify.
