[Breast Reduction: Mammoplasty] Breast Reduction

Breasts that are too large can cause problems such as chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, restricted activity, and difficulty fitting into bras and clothing. Even though the surgery can be done at any age, it is best to wait until the breasts are fully developed. You may also postpone breast reduction surgery until your family is complete. Changes to breast tissue during or after pregnancy can affect the surgical results. Breastfeeding may also be a challenge after breast reduction surgery.

There are three types of breast reduction surgery, categorized by the incisional method.

Incision through the Areola This is a useful method when breast obese or slack is not severe. Surgery is pretty simple and short, and recovery is pretty fast with the smallest scar only on the aerola.

T-shaped Incisional Method This procedure only leaves a vertical scar along the bottom line of the breast, which diminishes over time. It is one of conventional breast reduction methods.

O-shaped Incisional Method Also being a conventional method, that is done through an "O" shaped incision. It is suitable for patients who has the large and severely saggy breasts.

When the nipple is long in length, it is possible to decrease its length. Also, if it is wide in width, it is possible to eliminate a part of the upper nipple to decrease its size. It is a simple procedure, but still gives a satisfactory result.

Depressed nipple can be improved by cutting and spreading short laticiferous tube or untangling it from the surrounding tissue to take it out to the front.
The surgery that does not include an incision of laticiferous tube is mainly performed on unmarried women (in their 20’s ~30’s) for breast-feeding.

When a degree of breast droopiness is not severe
It is possible to correct it by adding extra volume through a breast augmentation procedure (Possible to enlarge the size while lifting it up)

When a degree of breast droopiness is severe
Make an incision around the areola and then, fixe the rest of the breast tissue onto the breast muscle to improve the droopiness.

When a degree of breast droopiness is severe and the size of the breast is small
We recommend to conduct a breast lifting procedure along with a breast augmentation procedure. (Suitable for the breast which has become smaller and saggy after breastfeeding)
