24 Year Old Woman Treated With Breast Reduction by Doctor Russel S. Palmer, MD, Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgeon
As a result of the operation, it is possible to get a smaller, lighter and more proportionate breast. In many cases, during reduction mammoplasty, the size of the stretched areola is reduced.
Indications for breast reduction
- Large, heavy breasts causing functional disorders
- Dissatisfaction with the shape of the breast
Technique of operation
There are many methods of breast reduction, but common to all is an incision around the areola and a vertical incision from the areola to the crease under the breast.
After removing excess glandular tissue, fatty tissue and skin, the nipple moves, and the remaining tissues are fixed in a new position, creating the expected shape of the breast. As a result of the operation, scars around the areola and visible vertical scars are remain. Sometimes, with a large excess of tissue, after a breast reduction, a scar in the form of an anchor is formed.Anesthesia for breast reduction
General anesthesia is used for breast reduction:
- Intravenous anesthesia
- Endotracheal anesthesia.
