Breast Reduction Surgery




Breast Reduction Surgery is performed to remove excess glandular tissue, breast fat, and skin. It is usually performed on women with large breasts or men with disproportionately sized breasts (a condition known as gynecomastia).

Breast Reduction Surgery is also done to relieve a person of the excess load of heavier breasts leading to severe discomfort and neck pain.

  • If heavy breasts cause skin irritation beneath the breast crease
  • If your breasts have a tendency to hang low and have stretched skin
  • If you have enlarged areolas due to stretched skin

  • If your nipples have a tendency to rest below the breast crease when the breasts are unsupported
  • If you have regular indentations from bra straps because of supporting heavy and pendulous breasts
  • If the weight of your breasts are causing acute back, neck and shoulder pain

Breast Reduction Surgery Techniques:


There are a number of breast reduction surgery techniques. Your physician may recommend the right one for you, according to your specific needs.

Inferior pedicle technique


In the inferior pedicle technique an anchor-shaped incision is made around the areola extending a little downward, following the natural curve of the breast. After this, extra fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, and then the nipple and areola are raised to a higher position.
  • Vertical scar technique
In vertical scar technique, a "lollipop incision" is made, resulting in the least amount of scarring. The size of the breast is reduced through removal of the lateral and inferior tissues, without touching the upper pole. This breast surgery technique has long term benefits.
  • Liposuction technique
In the liposuction technique is used for both men and women. The breast surgery takes much lesser time to heal. The liposuction technique aimed at removal of excess fat from the breast.
  • Free nipple graft technique
In the free nipple graft technique, the areola and nipple are completely removed for relocation and later replaced as a skin graft higher on the breast. This technique is not advisable for lactating women.
