Physical and aesthetic relief in a single procedure.
Breast reduction for patients with back or neck pain, or aesthetic concerns. Breast reduction is one of the procedures with the highest patient satisfaction - patients report immediate physical relief.
Breast reduction surgery.
Breast reduction removes excess skin, fat and tissue from the breast for medical reasons (back, neck or shoulder pain, skin irritation beneath the breast, restricted physical activity) and aesthetic reasons (better proportion with the body).
Techniques:
- Anchor / T-incision (Wise pattern) - for larger reductions (>500g/side); T-shaped scar
- Vertical / lollipop - for moderate reductions; smaller scarring
- Round block / donut - for very small reductions
The process, step by step.
