Breast reduction surgery typically lasts between two to four hours, depending on the extent of tissue removal and the patient’s specific anatomy. The procedure begins with the surgeon making carefully planned incisions, often around the areola and down to the breast crease, to access and remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. This helps to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while reshaping them for a more proportional appearance.
The tissue removal is performed with precision, ensuring that the breast retains a natural shape and contour. Once the excess tissue is removed, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple and areola may be repositioned to achieve a more youthful and elevated appearance. The incisions are then closed, and the results are tailored to meet your desired outcome and body proportions.
