About this procedure

Breast reduction is a procedure that reduces the size and weight of overly large breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. This surgery can help relieve physical discomfort while creating a breast size that is more proportionate to your body.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Personal Consultation

Your surgeon will discuss your concerns, evaluate your breast size and shape, and recommend a personalized surgical plan.

Surgery

  • The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort.

  • Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are carefully removed.

  • The remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a smaller, firmer, and more balanced appearance.

  • The nipples and areolas may be repositioned to match the new breast shape.

Recovery

  • Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness are common during the first few weeks.

  • Most patients can return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks.

  • A supportive surgical bra is typically worn to promote healing and comfort.

Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Surgical Method

Breast lift surgery refers to a procedure that raises and secures abnormally saggy breasts, including the nipple and areola, to a more natural and youthful position.

Feature

To minimize scarring, the incision is made only around the areola. The inner breast tissue is reshaped into a conical form, and then securely fixed to the chest wall (pectoral muscle). This method can create a youthful and firm breast shape while preserving the sensory nerves of the nipple. Depending on the patient’s needs, breast enlargement or reduction can also be performed simultaneously.
