Known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin that is associated with having overly large breasts.
Breast reduction surgery is usually performed through incisions on the breasts. Underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted and shaped. Also at this time the nipple is repositioned and lifted to conform with the new shape of the breast. There are different incision methods used and it is important that you consult with your surgeon to find the best method for you.
The results of your breast reduction surgery are immediately visible. Overtime, post-surgical swelling will reduce and the incision lines will fade and your breasts will settle into there new shape.
