Breast Reduction

A breast reduction procedure is a body plastic surgery aimed at decreasing breast volume, weight, and projection to relieve physical discomfort and improve body proportion. It involves removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the remaining tissue for a lifted, balanced contour. Surgeons typically reposition the nipple–areola complex to a more natural height during the procedure. Techniques vary (e.g., vertical, inverted-T, or liposuction-assisted), depending on breast size, skin quality, and desired outcome. The protocol includes precise tissue resection, pedicle design to preserve blood supply, and meticulous closure to optimize scarring. The objective is functional relief and an aesthetically proportionate breast shape.

Protocol of the breast reduction procedure

The breast reduction procedure follows a structured protocol designed to decrease breast volume while maintaining symmetry and adequate blood supply. The surgeon plans the incisions, removes excess tissue, and repositions the areola when necessary. Closure is performed in multiple layers to support optimal healing.
