Breast reduction is a procedure that greatly benefits ladies with excessively large breasts (macromastia), and men who have gynecomastia (male breasts). It is a cosmetic surgery performed to remove excess breast fat, skin and tissue from the breasts to give a proportionate breast size. It also helps ease the physical discomfort that associates with large breasts. This procedure is also referred to as Reduction Mammoplasty or Breast size decreasing surgery.
Large breasts can have both physical and emotional stress on the patient. The excess weight of the breasts leads to back pain, neck pain, under breasts skin rashes and other physical symptoms. It becomes a hindrance when doing physical activities and that adds to the emotional distress.
While breast size reduction surgery is often performed to treat medical issues, it also provides the aesthetic benefits of improved breast shape and tone. Thus, the patients who are just not happy with their breast size and need that to be fixed can easily opt for this procedure. Social stigmas and wardrobe problems that hamper confidence can be other factors that require a person to undergo breast reduction surgery.
Cosmetic surgeons can use different surgical techniques while performing a breast reduction surgery. The technique is decided by the surgeon depending on the patient’s breast shape, its size and the amount of the tissue that needs to be removed to get the desired outcome.
Candidates, who need a small reduction in their breasts, have no sagging on the skin and whose breasts are enlarged due to fatty tissue are the perfect candidates for this procedure. In some cases, like gynecomastia patients, liposuction alone can be performed to reduce the breast size. This is a less invasive and a shorter procedure. The scars are minimal and undetectable.
There are different techniques available for carrying out Liposuction. However, the most advanced and latest technique available today is indeed Vaser Liposuction, also known as LipoSelection by Vaser. An important thing to know is that only a few clinics possess the technology of carrying out Vaser Liposuction and the patients must, therefore, be very careful in choosing the right surgeon and clinic for breast surgery. Having said that, it will amaze you to learn Refine Aesthetic Clinic is the first and only clinic in Punjab to have equipped itself with this latest technology of carrying out breast reduction procedure.
While Liposuction can reduce up to 50% of breast size, this is possible only if there is a sufficient proportion of fat tissue in the breasts as compared to the glandular or muscular tissue.
Candidates who need a moderate size breast reduction and have excess sagging skin are good for a vertical breast reduction. The surgeon makes two incisions, one around the edge of the areola and the other vertically from the areola to the crease of the breast fold. Hence, the name given is "Vertical". This helps the surgeon remove the excess fat and skin to reshape the breast and lift it up to give the desired result.
This surgery requires three incisions, one around the edge of the areola, one vertically down to the crease and the third along the crease under the breasts. The incisions make an inverted-T, hence its name. These incisions allow maximum tissue removal and significant breast reduction to give youthful and proportionate breasts.
