The Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction consists primarily of the removal of excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body. This will relieve the discomfort associated with overly large breasts and restore a natural balance to your body. A breast reduction procedure begins with anesthesia for comfort during the operation. The surgeon will typically create an incision around or directly below the nipple. Next, the underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted and reshaped to create a more youthful contour and increase firmness. The nipple and areola are then repositioned. Once the breasts are reshaped, the remaining skin is tightened and incisions are closed. Scars resulting from the operation are concealed in the breast contours. Some incision lines on the breast surface are permanent, but usually fade and improve over time.

Risks Of Breast Reduction Surgery

Women considering breast reduction surgery need to be in good physical health, preferably maintaining stable body weight, and have realistic expectations. Like any surgical procedure, a breast reduction does involve some risks, such as unfavorable scars, infection, persistent pain, swelling and bruising. Dr. Chhatre will discuss the risks with candidates during their consultation.
