Procedure

How breast reduction surgery works.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.

1

Incision Planning

The surgeon marks the incision pattern based on breast size, shape, and desired outcome. Common techniques include anchor-shaped, vertical, or circumareolar incisions designed to minimize visible scarring while achieving optimal results.

2

Tissue Removal

Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are carefully removed through the planned incisions. The amount removed is determined by pre-surgical measurements and the patient's goals for size reduction and symptom relief.

3

Nipple Repositioning

The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location on the newly shaped breast while maintaining blood supply and nerve connections to preserve sensation and function.

4

Breast Reshaping

The remaining breast tissue is sculpted and reshaped to create a more proportionate, lifted, and aesthetically pleasing breast contour that complements the patient's body frame.

5

Closure and Dressing

Incisions are closed with layered sutures, and surgical drains may be placed to prevent fluid accumulation. Surgical dressings and a support garment are applied to support healing and maintain the new breast shape.

Recovery

Recovery & aftercare.

What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.

Immediate Recovery (Week 1-2)Early Recovery (Week 3-6)Complete Recovery (3-6 months)

Immediate Recovery (Week 1-2)

Expect moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort managed with prescribed pain medication. Surgical drains are typically removed within the first week. Rest is essential, and activities should be limited to light walking. A surgical support bra must be worn continuously.

Early Recovery (Week 3-6)

Swelling gradually subsides and most patients return to desk work and light daily activities. Lifting restrictions remain in place, and the support garment continues to be worn. Incision sites begin healing with scar maturation starting. Follow-up appointments monitor progress.

Complete Recovery (3-6 months)

Most swelling resolves and breast shape continues to settle into final position. Normal exercise and physical activities can be resumed. Scars continue to fade and flatten over time. Final breast contour becomes apparent with continued improvement up to one year post-surgery.
