Breast Reduction

Sometimes large, heavy, pendulous breasts can be uncomfortable. The surplus weight can cause neck pain, back pain, skin irritation, bra strap indentations, numbness or weakness. Breast reduction is known as reduction mammoplasty. The process involves removing excess skin, fat and glandular tissue. General breast sensation, nipple-areola sensation and milk production are usually preserved.

Steps involved in the Breast Reduction procedure:
breast reduction surgery in delhi is generally performed through incisions on the breasts with surgical removal of the excess fat, glandular tissue and skin.
In few situations, unwanted fat may be removed through liposuction in conjunction with the excision techniques. If the breast size is mainly due to fatty tissue and unwanted skin is not a cause, liposuction alone may be used in the procedure for breast reduction.
The technique used to reduce the size of the breasts will be determined by patient’s individual condition, breast composition, amount of reduction desired, your personal preferences and the surgeon’s advice.
Step 1 – Anaesthesia
Medications are administered for patients comfort during breast reduction surgery in delhi. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anaesthesia.
Step 2 – The incision
Incision options include:
A circular pattern around the areola

• The incision lines that remain are visible and permanent scars, while generally well concealed below a swimsuit or bra.
• A racquet-shaped or keyhole pattern with an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease
• An inverted T or anchor-shaped incision pattern

Step 3 – Removing tissue and repositioning
After the incision is done the nipple is then relocated. If necessary, the areola is reduced by excising skin at the edge.
Underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted and shaped. Rarely, for very large pendulous breasts, the nipple and areola may need to be detached and transplanted to a higher position on the breast.
Step 4 – Closing the incisions
The incisions are brought together to restructure the smaller breast. Sutures are layered deep within the breast tissue to make and support the newly shaped breasts; sutures, skin adhesives and/or surgical tape close the skin. Incision lines are permanent, but in most cases will fade and considerably improve over time.
Step 5 – Results
The results of breast reduction surgery in delhi are instantly visible. After some time, post-surgical swelling will come down and incision lines will fade.
