How Is The Technique for a Breast Reduction Surgery Chosen?

The breasts that are very large compared to one’s anatomy can cause many problems. Along with physical difficulties, the person may experience psychological problems. Women with very large breasts compared to general body proportions, due to the weight of the breasts, neck, shoulder, back pain can be experienced. They may also be limited in physical activities and sports. In advanced cases, it has been observed that tingling, numbness in the fingers, difficulty in breathing and migraines can be experienced. The effect of breast reduction operations is important for people suffering from problems in appearance as well as for people with health issues.

There are a variety of techniques that can be used in breast reduction surgery. The technique which a plastic surgeon will use for a particular patient depends on the patient’s current breast anatomy, the amount and type of tissue to be removed, and the intended outcome. In breast reduction surgeries, incisions are usually made around the nipple and extended towards the inframmary fold and, if necessary, with additional incisions, the excess skin and tissue are removed. The remaining skin and tissue are reassembled and the breast is given a new shape. As for the procedure, breast reduction operations can be said to include a breast lift procedure.

In some cases, if the breast size is mostly due to the fat tissue in the breast, liposuction can be used for a reduction. The advantages of liposuction for breast reduction are that it is a shorter, less invasive procedure, leaves almost undetectable scars on the breast with permanent results. However, this technique will only achieve optimal results in certain patients. The best candidates are those who need or need a mild to moderate reduction in breast size, with good skin elasticity and with little or no sagging and with the cause of breast largeness being fatty tissue.

One of these breast reduction techniques that will be mentioned will be more useful for patients with sagging, asymmetric breasts with more excess tissue to be removed.

In the inverted T (Anchor) technique, a circular incision is made around the areola, and then continues downward from the middle of the lower half of the breast, then a horizontal incision is made along the inframmary fold. The incisions form the inverted-t or anchor shape. This is the most common breast reduction procedure because the skin can be moved vertically and horizontally in the breasts. It is the technique in which the breast shape can be changed the best proportions can be achieved, because the excess breast tissue can be removed from any part of the breast. This is the most versatile breast reduction technique available.

In the vertical (Lollipop) technique, a circular incision is made around the areola and then continues vertically from the middle of the lower half of the breast towards the inframmary fold. In some cases, a short incision can also be made in the inframmary fold. The vertical breast reduction technique can improve breast shape and projection in the long term and is a good choice for some patients. If you have mild or moderately large breasts, this technique may be suitable for you. This is not a good option for reduction in very large breasts.

If your breasts are mildly large, donut (Benelli) breast reduction can be a good option for you. In this technique, an incision is made around the areola. This means that you will have only one scar that can be hidden in the dark color of the areola. This is not an effective technique for very large breasted women. There is not much access to the breast tissue. This can cause deformation in the breast.
