Breast reduction

This surgery has one of the highest rates of satisfaction of all cosmetic surgery procedures. The plastic surgeon removes breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to reduce its size and change its shape and position on the chest.
Patients with extremely large breasts may require more complex surgery. The surgeon may remove the areola and nipple before making the breast smaller, and reattach them after the breast is reduced. For many breast reduction and lift procedures, are used 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.
