What is a breast reduction surgery?
Although many women seek to increase the size of their breasts, others with overly large breasts can suffer from physical discomfort and a profound impact on their self esteem.
Overly large breasts can cause many physical problems that include; restricted movement, low physical activity, back pain, neck pain, shoulder strain, bent back posture, skin irritations, inflammation, skin infections, shortness of breath, painful bras, difficulty fitting into clothes, and cosmetic concerns.
Breast reduction surgery is a very common plastic surgery procedure that reduces the size of the breasts for either cosmetic reasons or physical problems.
Breast reduction surgery improves the shape and reduces the size of overly large breasts not only for the cosmetic appearance of a large saggy breast, but also to alleviate the physical discomfort caused by the disproportionately large and heavy breasts.
Who is a candidate for breast reduction surgery?
Women who have overly large breasts and are concerned about any of the following:
- Cosmetic concerns.
- Restricted movement and physical activity.
- Back or neck pain.
- Painful bra straps.
- Shoulder strain.

What are the different incision lines for breast reduction?
There are many different techniques of breast reduction with different skin resection patterns requiring different incision lines. The “inverted-T” skin resection pattern being the most commonly used incision line for overly large breasts reduction resulting in a scar that looks like an “inverted-T” in shape starting from beneath the areola vertically moving downwards then intersects with a transverse line at the Inframammary fold.
However there are some other patterns of skin resection that result in different scar lines for smaller breasts reduction.
Different skin resection patterns include:
- Inverted-T pattern
- Vertical pattern (short scar technique)
- Circumareolar pattern
- No vertical scar pattern
What to expect from breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery results in a scar that most likely looks like an inverted-T figure that usually heals well and becomes almost inconspicuous with time, it starts to become unnoticeable over the next few months – 1 year.
The breasts are totally reshaped as desired with an obvious size reduction to them.
The nipples and areolas are repositioned up to a new level in the chest that represents their new perfect aesthetical location as designed before surgery.
The amount of reduction is a controllable variable that could be adjusted to each patient’s needs.
The end result to expect is beautiful newly shaped breasts that have a perfectly positioned nipple and areola, and a well balanced size putting an end to all your physical and cosmetic problems.
Recovery from breast reduction:
During recovery some patients might have a drain (small plastic tube) in both breasts to drain out any fluids that remain after surgery, in such cases the drains are removed few days after surgery.
Sutures are usually of the absorbable type that require no removal however if the non absorbable type is used they are removed by the 10th day after surgery.Going back to work is expected by the 15th day after surgery and full recovery is expected by the end of the 1st month.
