A breast reduction frequently involves the removal of fat, skin, and tissue or excess usually located in the nipple and areola. If the areola has stretched due to the size, it may be reduced. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and two to four hours. A different technique is applied to every patient. There are several different types of incisions used for this procedure.

Traditional Breast Reduction Surgery

Skin, fat, and tissue can be removed from the lower breast, and the nipple and areola can be repositioned. This technique involves an anchor-shaped incision, and it is ideal for women with large breasts.

Vertical-Incision Breast Reduction

This is a procedure for women with moderately large breasts and creates results with less scarring. There is no extensive tissue removal. Incisions are in a lollipop share, and they extend around the areola.

Scarless Breast Reduction

This type is a liposuction technique that reduces the size with little or no scarring. The liposuction removes only fatty tissue, so the patient should have more fatty tissue than glandular tissue. It can be used on men with enlarged breasts also.

After the surgery, you need to spend at least one to two weeks to recover.During that time it is essential to rest and minimize your movement. Avoid any physical activity. It is imperative to follow post-operative instructions after the surgery.

The patient will probably experience bruising, swelling and soreness. After two or three weeks, a patient will return to the clinic to remove the stitches.

Picking the right breast implant shape

Implants can be round or teardrop shape. Rounds implants are more common than a teardrop. The right for you is the one selected for your unique body measurements. It is vital for your implant to be suitable for your body. One that is too wide or large can increase severe nerve damage or pain.

Effect on Breast Feeding

This depends on the type of incision used in the process. Traditional mammaplasty uses larger incisions that remove some milk ducts. This can reduce the ability to breastfeed. Using smaller incisions during the breast reduction, there is a less chance of affecting breastfeeding ability.
