Treatment
Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue and skin to alleviate discomfort, improve posture, and create a proportionate breast size. It's ideal for patients experiencing back, neck, or shoulder pain, or who desire a more balanced body silhouette.
APPROACH
- Consultation & Planning – Assess breast size, tissue, and skin elasticity.
- Anesthesia – General anesthesia ensures safety and comfort.
- Tissue Removal & Contouring – Excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed; remaining tissue is reshaped.
- Nipple & Areola Adjustment – Repositions and resizes for symmetry and natural appearance.
- Closure & Recovery – Incisions are closed carefully; mild swelling and tenderness resolve over several weeks.
Breast Reduction enhances comfort, proportion, and confidence while maintaining a natural and feminine contour.
