The steps involved in breast reduction surgery
What kind of technique doctors will use to perform the procedure largely depends on your physical condition, the composition of your breasts and finally the size that you desire to achieve after reduction. Usually a surgeon will follow these steps:
- Anesthesia: An intravenous sedative or general anesthesia may be used as your doctor will deem appropriate.
- Incision: There are 3 types of incisions to choose from:
- Circular incision around the areola.
- A keyhole shaped incision with a circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision along the crease of the breast.
- A reversed T shaped incision.
- Removing tissue: After underlying tissue from the breast is removed the nipple is relocated or sometimes even placed in a higher position if required.
- Closing the cut: The skin is finally closed with the help of sutures, adhesives for the skin or surgical tapes. The marks are permanent but often these marks fade in time.
