Also known as reduction mammoplasty, breast reduction is a reconstructive or cosmetic surgical procedure that helps to create smaller, lighter breasts by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin from overly large, heavy and sagging breasts.

Some women experience discomforts that is caused by overly large breasts, such as back, neck and shoulder pain, stretched skin, and painful and deep indentation from bra straps. All of these problems can be solved by reducing the size of your breasts.

1. The planned incisions are outlined with a marking pen.
2. An incision is made.
3. Excessive skin and breast tissue is removed, without harming the nipple, areola and the breast tissue surrounding them.
4. Flaps of breast are developed and sewn together to secure not just the skin, but the breast gland itself, into a smaller configuration. In other words, some skin is removed to wrap the breast tissue in a tighter envelope. The entire breast, including the nipple, are moved to a higher level on the chest, thereby giving the breast a new contour.
5. All incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches and surgical wound tapes. Thick gauze and cotton dressings are placed for comfort and support. After the operation, you will need to spend at least 1 hour in our recovery room in order to recover from the anesthetic.
