Breast Reduction Procedure: What to Expect

Step 1: Anesthesia

The procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia and IV sedation to ensure your comfort.

Step 2: The Incision(s)

Incisions are strategically made, often in patterns like an anchor, lollipop, or around the areola, based on your needs.

Step 3 – Reshaping Breast Tissue

Excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a higher, more youthful placement.

Step 4 – Closing the Incisions

Incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, and surgical dressings are applied to support your new breast shape.

Step 5 – Recovery Time

Initial recovery involves swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to light activities within 1-2 weeks.

Step 6 – The Results

Immediate reduction in size is visible, with final, contoured results emerging as swelling subsides over several months.
