What are the types of Breast Reduction surgical techniques?

Depending on the extent of reduction required, various techniques have been designed to reduce the breast size.

An individual breast profile and surgeon’s preferences help determine the specific technique to reduce the breast size.

This includes:

1. Reduction by Liposuction: This involves reducing the fatty component of the breast without excision of glandular tissue. It can provide a small amount of reduction only and is suitable for older patients with mainly fatty tissue; however, it avoids any major incisions and ensures quick healing in the post-op period. It also helps to contour the arm.

2. Vertical or Lollipop breast reduction: This is suitable for patients with mild to moderately large breasts. It involves an incision around the brown part of the breast (areolae) running down the center to the center to the breast, it produces a single vertical scar.

3. Donut breast reduction: This is a prevalent technique in patients who have a mild breast enlargement. It involves an incision around the areola only. The scar is hidden in the brown skin and settles very well over a period of time.

4. Inverted ‘T’ or wise pattern breast reduction: This is one of the most common breast reduction techniques suitable for all candidates. It involves a vertical scar running from the areola to the breast areas. It allows the surgeon greater control of the breast shape and proportion.

How is the Breast Reduction surgical procedure performed?

Step 1: The breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Then markings are made as per the required changes by the patient.

Step 2: Liposuction is performed to remove excess fat. The surgeon makes a cut around the nipple and then down each breast.

Step 3: Then the extra skin, muscles, tissues, glands, and fat are removed, and then the breast, nipple, and areola area are reshaped.

Step 4: The surgeon also takes care that blood supply is maintained to the nipple-areola complex, so that there is no sensation loss. The loose skin is tightened to get newly shaped breasts.

Step 5: The drainage tubes are fixed, and stitches are made to close the surgical site. Then the surgeon wraps the breasts in gauze bandages.

Note: The nipple and areola remain usually attached to the breast, and sometimes they are removed and placed at a higher position if the breasts are too large or saggy.

In a traditional breast reduction surgery, one can expect some degree of scarring, and the scar will be horizontal and more prominent than in a vertical incision surgery.
