Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)

Breast reduction is performed in order to remove excess breast tissue, fat and skin from overly large breasts.

Liposuction may also be used improve the contour, especially on the sides of the breasts.

The type of incision used for a breast reduction may vary, depending on the size and shape of the breasts and the desired amount of reduction.The most common method for breast reduction is a three part incision:incisions are made around the areola (nipple area). Another incision runs vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast.The third is a horizontal incision beneath the breast, which follows the natural curve of the crease. Scars are permanent but will fade in time.

As a result the breasts will be reduced and reshaped and the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher postion.The results of this surgery the breasts will be more proportional and often the areola maybe reduced and repostioned.Breast reduction ranks one of the highest in patient satisfaction among plastic surgeons.
