BREAST REDUCTION
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthetic, with a projected initial recovery period of 12 days. Most patients are extremely happy with the results after years of back and neck strain from cumbersome breasts. They also reportedly find it easier to find clothing that fits once their breast size in more in proportion to their overall body shape.
The most common reduction procedure involves making three incisions on each breast – one around the areola, another from the areola to the under the breast, and a third along the crease of the breast. Fat, tissue and skin is then removed and the nipple and areola are repositioned as required. Excess skin which has been stretched is also removed.
Drainage tubes may be inserted temporarily. You will need to ease very slowly back into your regular routine, taking plenty of time to recuperate before putting strain or pressure onto your upper body.
The results of breast reduction are permanent.
