5 things to think about before you have a breast reduction

Breast reduction is supposed to be an operation based on which the extra fat, tissue, and skin are removed from our breasts. It was started way back in 625 to 690 AD. Breast reduction surgery and plastic surgery have been a part of the early recorded history and was put into action since 1669. There are several reports describing post-mastectomy reconstructions.

If our breasts are proportionately larger in comparison to our other body parts, hence it requires a reduction surgery. Large, heavy, pendulous breasts can be very uncomfortable. It causes, neck pain, back pain, and other symptoms that are very problematic for our everyday lives. Breasts reduction is known as reduction mammoplasty. General breast sensation, nipple-areola sensation, and milk production are usually preserved. 

There are primarily two procedures that are involved in Breast Reduction.

• Through incisions on the breast 

• Through the process of liposuction.

Step 1 – Anaesthesia

Proper medications are to be taken for comforting the breast muscles of the patient. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia.

Step 2 – The incision

Incision options include:

A circular pattern around the areola

• The incision lines that remain can be seen and leave the marks of permanent scars.

•  A racquet-shaped or keyhole pattern with an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. 

• An inverted T or anchor-shaped incision pattern

Step 3 – Removing the excess tissue and repositioning the breast

After the incision is successful, the nipple is relocated. If necessary, the areola is reduced by excising skin at the edge.

Underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted, and shaped. In rare cases, for pendulous kinds of breasts, the nipple and areola can be detached. 

Step 4 – Closing the incisions

The incisions are brought together to restructure the smaller breast. Sutures are layered deep within the breast tissue to make and support the newly shaped breasts; sutures, skin adhesives, and/or surgical tape close the skin. Incision lines are permanent.

Step 5 – Results

The results of breast reduction surgery in Delhi can be noticed. After some time, post-surgical swelling will come down and incision lines will also get removed.
