Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce the size of the breasts. It can be necessary to correct breast hypertrophy, which causes physical and psychological pain, discomfort in daily life, and aesthetic discomfort.
Different Surgical Techniques:
Breast reduction can be performed using several techniques, including:
- Wise technique: the most common technique, it involves removing an ellipse of skin and breast tissue around the areola and lifting the breast.
- Vertical technique: a less frequent technique, it involves making a vertical incision on the breast to remove excess skin and breast tissue.
- Periareolar technique: an even less frequent technique, it involves making an incision only around the areola to remove excess breast tissue
Anesthesia and Type of Procedure:
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes between 2 and 4 hours.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care:
Recovery varies and requires wearing a bandage and compression bra for a few weeks. Pain, bruising, and swelling may occur, but they gradually disappear.
Natural Result and Patient Satisfaction: Breast reduction can achieve a natural result, breasts that are more proportionate to the patient’s body shape, and relief from pain and discomfort. Patient satisfaction is generally high.
