Breast Reduction
What is a breast reduction?
Breast reduction is a plastic surgery procedure to make breasts smaller. The plastic surgeon removes breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to reduce its size and change its shape and position on the chest.
“In addition to addressing the patient’s appearance, the procedure can relieve discomfort or painful symptoms associated with large breasts such as muscle strain, soreness and skin breakdown,” Manahan says.
Is breast reduction right for me?
You may be considering reduction mammoplasty if you wish to change your appearance or if you have large breasts that are causing or contributing to:
-
Neck strain
-
Headaches
-
Shoulder pain
-
Low back pain
-
Chronic skin infections under the breast fold
Whether you wish to relieve discomfort or have your breasts reshaped for an appearance more pleasing to you, breast reduction can help.
If I am having a breast reduction I can have implants too?
Yes of course. If you want a very well cleavage look, you will need implants even if they have to be a small ones to fit the desired size you want to be.
If you would like a most natural looking and have some flatness in the upper pole of the breast, then we can do a reduction without the use of implants
In general, the surgery takes about three to four hours. Removing excess breast volume (fat and glandular tissue), creating an aesthetic contour and closing the wound to minimize scarring can take additional time in some patients.
Patients with extremely large breasts may require more complex surgery. The surgeon may remove the areola (the darker area around the nipple) and nipple before making the breast smaller, and reattach them after the breast is reduced.
Once the incision is made, the surgeon removes tissue from under the skin, navigating the patient’s blood vessels and nerves, which, differ from person to person.
Breast reduction surgery can also be part of managing breast cancer.
Some people with large breasts who have a cancerous tumor may be able to have the tumor removed using an oncoplastic breast reduction, a method of lumpectomy that incorporates a breast reduction. Then, the other breast can be made smaller with plastic surgery to restore a more symmetrical appearance for the patient.
In case of needed, we have a great team to manage Breast Cancer with the best Gynecologist Oncologist and Reconstructive Surgeon in Matamoros.
There are two different incision patterns commonly used in reduction mammaplasty.
For some few breast reduction and lift procedures, we use a vertical reduction pattern, which results in what is often called a ‛lollipop scar.’ The incisions form a circle around the areola and a vertical, straight line underneath.
Patients who have a small or moderate amount of tissue to be removed may be good candidates for this incision approach.
Most commonly, with larger breasts or for those who may require more tissue removal, we may use an anchor or upside down ‛T’ incision, with a vertical line extending down from the areola scar, meeting a horizontal line under each breast.”
Bilateral mastectomy can be part of surgery for gender affirmation.
In this instance, the procedure involves the removal of the breasts, shaping of a contoured, male chest and refinement of the nipple and areola.
