Breast Reduction
Description
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to decrease the size of large breasts. During the surgery, the patient is typically administered general anesthesia to ensure comfort and prevent pain. The surgeon starts by making incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and sometimes along the breast crease itself, forming an anchor or keyhole pattern. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are then carefully removed to reduce the breast volume and achieve a size proportionate to the patient's body. The nipple and areola might also be repositioned higher on the breast to create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Following the removal of excess tissue and repositioning of the nipple-areola complex, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures, typically placed within the breast tissue for added support, and may also use sutures on the skin to help with healing. Drains may be inserted temporarily to remove excess fluids and reduce swelling. The breasts are then bandaged, and the patient is taken to a recovery area where they are closely monitored as they awaken from anesthesia. Post-operative care instructions are provided to the patient to aid in recovery, such as wearing a surgical bra, managing pain and swelling with prescribed medications, and avoiding strenuous activities for a specified period. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure satisfactory outcomes.
Ailments treated by this procedure: Lateral Breast Fullness, Back Pain from Heavy Breasts, Shoulder Grooves from Bra Straps, Uneven Breast Size, and Breast Hypertrophy

Our philosophy is rooted in achieving harmony and balance, inspired by the Greek ideals of beauty. Breast Reduction Vertical Scar Reduction: This technique minimizes scarring by focusing the incision around the areola and vertically down the breast. It provides effective reshaping and lifting for moderate reduction needs. Anchor Scar Reduction: Also known as the inverted T incision, this method is suitable for significant breast reduction. It involves three incisions to effectively remove excess tissue and reshape the breast contour. Breast Augmentation Implant Augmentation: Using high-quality implants, this procedure enhances breast volume and shape. The implants can be inserted through various incisions such as inframammary, periareolar, or transaxillary. Fat Transfer Augmentation: This method uses liposuction to harvest fat from other parts of the body and injects it into the breasts. It offers a more natural enhancement with the dual benefit of body contouring. Breast Lift Mastopexy: The procedure lifts and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It aims to achieve a more youthful and elevated breast profile. Combined Lift and Augmentation: This dual approach simultaneously lifts and adds volume to the breasts. It’s ideal for women looking to restore fullness and correct significant sagging. Nipple and Areola Correction Inverted Nipple Correction: This surgery addresses the inversion of nipples, enhancing their appearance and function. It can involve minimal incisions and is often performed under local anesthesia. Areola Reduction: This procedure reduces the size of the areola to match the overall breast proportion. It's often combined with other breast surgeries for optimal results. Additional Procedures Axillary Breast Removal: This technique removes excess breast tissue in the armpit area, often referred to as accessory breasts. It improves both comfort and aesthetic appearance. Gynecomastia Surgery: Male breast reduction surgery removes excess glandular tissue and fat to achieve a masculine chest contour. Depending on the case, it may involve liposuction and/or gland excision. Mamms Clinic uses advanced AI technology like Crisalix for virtual simulations and employs diagnostic tools (X-ray and ultrasound) to ensure precise and safe surgical planning. We aim for optimal aesthetic outcomes while maintaining the health and functionality of breast tissue.
