What is breast reduction surgery ?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size, volume, and weight of the breasts by removing excess tissue, fat, and skin. But it’s not just about making breasts smaller — it’s about restoring proportion, relieving pressure, and helping you move, breathe, and live with more ease.
Our surgeons use advanced techniques to shape and lift the breasts naturally, with minimal visible scarring and attention to long-term results.
Quick Overview:
- Duration: ~2 hours
- Recovery: 1 to 4 weeks
- Outcome: Smaller, lifted, more proportionate breasts
- Hospitalization: Outpatient (no overnight stay required)
Are You a Good Candidate?
You might be an ideal candidate for breast reduction surgery if:
- You suffer from neck, back, or shoulder pain due to heavy breasts
- You experience irritation or rash under your breast fold
- Your breasts limit your ability to exercise or move freely
- Your bra straps leave painful grooves in your shoulders
- You feel self-conscious about your body’s proportions

Types of Breast Reduction Surgery
There are several techniques that can be used for breast reduction surgery, and the best one for you will depend on factors such as the amount of breast tissue to be removed, your breast shape, and your cosmetic goals. Here are the most common types of breast reduction surgery:
Anchor/Inverted-T breast reduction: This technique involves making an anchor-shaped incision around the areola, down the center of the breast, and along the inframammary fold (breast crease). This allows for the removal of significant amounts of breast tissue and reshaping of the breast, but leaves a more noticeable scar.
Vertical breast reduction: This technique involves making a lollipop-shaped incision around the areola and vertically down the center of the breast. This technique is often used for patients who require less tissue removal and results in less scarring than the anchor technique.
Liposuction breast reduction: This technique involves using liposuction to remove excess fat from the breast, resulting in smaller, more proportionate breasts. This technique is best suited for patients with mild to moderate breast enlargement due to excess fat tissue.
Circumareolar breast reduction: This technique involves making a circular incision around the areola and removing excess tissue through that incision. This technique is best suited for patients with mild to moderate breast enlargement, and it leaves a minimal scar.
Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your individual situation and discuss the most appropriate technique for you based on your desired results, breast anatomy, and other factors. It’s important to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can guide you through the decision-making process and perform the procedure safely and effectively.
