Breast reduction
About breast reduction surgery
Are your breasts causing back pain, or do you think your breasts are too large for you or have they started sagging? Breast reduction surgery might be right for you!
Dr. Friedlander has performed thousands of breast reduction surgeries. We offer the best surgeon and the safest practices!
This procedure is also known as a reduction mammoplasty. Women with unusually large or sagging breasts often choose to have this reconstructive surgery procedure. They can cause neck, back, and shoulder pain which can hinder you from participating in sporting activities and even normal daily routines.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, then a breast reduction may be
right for you.
The techniques of breast reduction have been significantly refined in the
last two decades to improve the consistency of results and to maximize
safety of the procedure. Our cosmetic surgery center uses several
techniques which have been proven to be very reliable.
Types of breast reduction surgery
your options when it comes to breast reduction surgery
- The Peri-areolar approach, usually used in moderate cases, only one incision is used at the nipple edge, which allows removal of tissue and easy tightening. This ends up at a circle around the nipple areolar only.
- For larger breast reductions, we use a lollipop incision, which is a vertical incision only that allows removal and tightening of the envelope from side to side.
- For extra skin, we use the anchor shape incision, which addresses both vertical horizontal tightening.
- Finally, in very large breasts, the nipple is removed, then the large part of the breast is taken off, and, finally, the nipple is grafted on the new, smaller mound.
