Breast Reduction

Well proportioned and in shape breasts are an asset to any woman. Disproportionately enlarged breasts cause some women to have both health and emotional problems. The weight of excess breast tissue can impair your ability to lead an active life. There are variations in the techniques of breast reduction surgery depending on your size & shape of your breast as well as the desired amount of reduction each with slightly different scars.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and typically takes 3 to 4 hours. After the incision is made, the nipple (which remains tethered to its original blood and nerve supply) is then repositioned. The incisions are brought together to reshape the now smaller breast. The incision lines that remain are visible and permanent scars, although usually well concealed beneath a swimsuit or bra and in most cases will fade and significantly improve over time.
