Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the size and weight of large, heavy breasts to create a breast contour that is proportionate to the patient’s body. This is achieved by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and stretched skin. The surgery also enhances breast symmetry.
Large breasts can cause physical pain, discomfort, and impair an active lifestyle. Many individuals with large breasts experience frequent discomfort and self-consciousness.
When to Consider Breast Reduction Surgery:
You might consider breast reduction surgery if you have disproportionately large breasts and experience:
- Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
- Persistent rash or skin irritation under the breasts
- Restricted physical activity due to breast size and weight
- Poor self-image due to large breasts
- Difficulty finding properly fitting bras and clothing
- One breast significantly larger than the other
Types of Breast Reduction Surgeries:
- Liposuction for Breast Reduction:
Ideal for those needing a slight reduction with good skin elasticity. This less invasive procedure has a shorter recovery time. - Vertical Breast Reduction:
Suitable for moderate size reduction and noticeable sagging. It involves two incisions: around the areola and vertically from the areola to the breast crease. - Inverted-T Breast Reduction:
Used for significant size reduction, involving three incisions: around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease.
1.Consultation with Surgeon:
If you are troubled by the size and heaviness of your breasts, causing discomfort or self-consciousness, consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Suma Sandhyala (M.S., M.Ch) and Dr.Jagadish Kiran (M.S., M.Ch) at Sculpt Cosmetic Surgery & Hair Transplant Center, Hyderabad.
