Breast Reduction Surgery - Reduction Mammoplasty
Breast Reduction surgery is also known as Reduction Mammoplasty and involves the removal of fat, skin and glandular tissue to reduce a patient’s breast size. Breast Reduction surgery can be performed on both male and female patients seeking a Breast Reduction for either aesthetic or medical reasons.
What are the benefits of Breast Reduction surgery?
From an aesthetic perspective the patient may want to reduce the size of their breasts due to personal preference which can also help with confidence and well being. A Breast Reduction can also correct uneven breasts which have a dissimilar appearance.
Some patients suffer with physical issues such as back, neck and shoulder pain or circulation problems. Breast Reduction surgery removes weight and mass which leads to less stress on some areas of the body which can alleviate those symptoms.
Some men suffer from Gynecomastia which is commonly referred to as ‘moobs’. Gynecomastia is often caused by a small hormone imbalance and the excess fat and tissue can be removed via a reduction procedure.
What does the Breast Reduction procedure involve?
The pedicle technique is the most common type of Breast Reduction. An incision is made around the areole (the area of pigmented skin around the nipple) continuing downwards following the natural curve of the breast. After excess breast tissue, fat and skin are removed the nipple and areole are moved to a new higher position. The "inferior pedicle" refers to the point at which the blood and nerve connections to the nipple and areole complex (NAC) are attached to the chest wall.
The vertical scar technique for Breast Reduction is growing in popularity compared to the inferior pedicle although it is best suited to patients requiring smaller Breast Reduction procedures. This Breast Reduction technique has shorter scar length, it gives a better more natural breast shape and is better at preserving the results over the long term.
Breast Reduction is a popular and generally safe procedure which is performed over 750,000 times per year but choosing to have any surgery is a serious and personal decision. If you decide that this is right for you then further information on Breast Reduction surgery, your suitability and the possible side effects will be provided by a qualified cosmetic surgeon during the Breast Reduction consultation stage pre surgery.
