What is Breast Reduction
If you happen to have very large breast which causes you discomfort in your day to day activities then a breast reduction is what you need. Believe it or not, there are some women out there that are completely sick and tired of their large breasts.
Surgery Breast Reduction
- The surgery proceeds under general anaesthesia so you won’t feel any discomfort nor pain during it. To start the surgery, the surgeon makes one of three different types of incision in your breasts.Circular Incision – Consists of a circular pattern incision around the areola, the dark circle around the nipple. This suits better when excising moderate amounts of the tissue from the breasts.Keyhole Incision – Is a circular pattern that goes around the areola and then down to the breast crease in a vertical pattern. The resulting incision looks like a keyhole, hence the name, and is better suited to excise more skin than the circular one.
Anchor Incision – Starts with a circular incision around the areola. Then another going down from the areola incision towards the underside of the breast. And then a final one going across the breast crease. All the incisions as a whole look like a proper anchor and it is the type of incision that allows extracting most skin.
