Breast reduction
About breast reduction
Techniques and incisions beyond the classic inverted T or anchor technique are techniques that can not greatly lift a sagging breast. So, there are techniques for reducing the breast that result in a single vertical incision but I emphasize that either the lolipop incision or the J incision are not enough to give a satisfactory shape to a large sagging breast.
The operation
Breast reduction is an operation that improves in addition to the patient’s appearance and her quality of life, since large breasts often cause functional problems. As with breast augmentation, it is recommended that a mammogram be performed before surgery to rule out other breast pathology. Although breast reduction does not affect future pregnancies, it is recommended when this can be done after pregnancy which normally causes the breasts to increase in size and sag.
