Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) helps to correct breasts that are overly large and sagging, a condition that can cause back pain and severe discomfort in other areas. An improved appearance is an added benefit of the operation.
|
| Procedure |
An anchor-shaped incision is made around the
areola and under the breast, following the curve
of the crease, leaving nipples attached to their
blood vessels and nerves. Fat and tissue are
removed, and the nipple and areola are moved
into a higher position. The skin is then
tightened around the areola to shape the new
breast.

| Recovery |
-
After surgery, an elastic bandage or surgical bra is worn over gauze dressings for comfort.
-
You will be up and about in a day or two. Some pain may be experienced for a few days, especially when moving or coughing. Breasts may ache for a couple of weeks.
-
Avoid heavy lifting for three or four weeks. Non-strenuous work and activities can be resumed in about two weeks.
