Reduction Mammaplasty

What is Reduction Mammaplasty (Breast Reduction Surgery)?

Reduction Mammaplasty, commonly known as Breast Reduction Surgery, is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size that is more proportionate to the body. Women with overly large breasts often experience physical discomfort such as neck pain, back pain, shoulder grooving, and skin irritation. This procedure not only improves body contour but also enhances comfort, mobility, and self-confidence.

Types of Reduction Mammaplasty (Breast Reduction Surgery)

Anchor Technique (Inverted-T Method)

This is the most commonly used method for significant breast reduction. It involves three incisions—around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the crease. It is ideal for women with very large or heavily sagging breasts and allows maximum tissue removal and reshaping.

Vertical Technique (Lollipop Method)

This technique uses two incisions—around the areola and vertically down to the breast fold. It is suitable for moderate breast reduction and provides good lifting with less scarring compared to the anchor method.

Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction

In selected cases where excess size is mainly due to fatty tissue and minimal sagging is present, liposuction alone may be used. This method involves small incisions and minimal scarring, but it does not significantly lift the breasts.
