Reduction mammoplasty, commonly known as breast reduction surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce breast size while improving shape, comfort, and overall body balance. At Bellissima Medical Center, reduction mammoplasty procedures are performed under expert surgical care to relieve physical discomfort and enhance quality of life with natural, proportionate results.
What Is Reduction Mammoplasty?
Reduction mammoplasty is a breast surgery procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breast size. The procedure also reshapes the breasts and repositions the nipple-areola complex to create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Concerns Addressed
Reduction mammoplasty is commonly performed to address physical discomfort caused by large breasts, including back, neck, and shoulder pain, posture issues, skin irritation, and limitations in physical activity. It also improves breast symmetry and overall body proportions.
How Reduction Mammoplasty Works
During the procedure, excess breast tissue and skin are carefully removed, and the remaining tissue is reshaped. The nipples are repositioned to a higher, more natural location while preserving sensation whenever possible. Incision patterns are selected based on the degree of reduction required.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Reduction mammoplasty may be suitable for individuals experiencing physical or emotional discomfort due to excessively large breasts. A comprehensive surgical consultation is required to assess breast anatomy, medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals.
