Female Breast Reduction is performed under a general anesthetic. The procedure can be painful but easily controlled with pain medication.

A small incision is made just under the lower part of the nipple or breast fold. A breast implant is then inserted under the breast tissue or underlying muscle.

The incision is around the areola and vertical in the centre of the breast from the areola to the breast fold. These may also be a breast fold incision. The areolar and vertical scars are usually narrower than the breast fold scar. Scars improve over one year.

Avoid stretching andLifting and reaching with your arms, as well as exercises until healing has taken place, approximately 6 weeks. Nipple sensation will gradually return in a few months. You can wear a bra once the dressing is off. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks after surgery.

This procedure is done under general anesthesia. Portions of skin, fat and breast tissue are removed. The nipple is transposed without being removed from the breast.
