Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size proportionate to the body. This surgery is commonly performed for women experiencing discomfort due to overly large breasts, including back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation.
Duration: 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia.
Techniques Used:
Anchor Incision: A circular incision around the areola, extending vertically down and horizontally along the breast crease.
Lollipop Incision: A circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision down to the breast crease.
Liposuction-Assisted Reduction: Used for minor reductions and to reshape the breast contour.
Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with complete healing in a few months.

1. How long do the results of breast reduction last?
The results are typically long-lasting, but weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging can impact breast size over time.
2. Will I have noticeable scars after surgery?
While scars are inevitable, they fade significantly over time and can be minimized with proper care and medical-grade treatments.
3. Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Some women may still be able to breastfeed, but there is a risk that milk production may be reduced. Discuss this with your surgeon before surgery.
4. When can I return to work after breast reduction?
Most patients can resume non-strenuous work within 1 to 2 weeks, but full recovery takes a few months.
5. Does breast reduction surgery require a hospital stay?
In most cases, it is performed as an outpatient procedure, but some patients may need to stay overnight for observation.
