⚖️ Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) reduces the volume and weight of overly large breasts, delivering a more proportionate, lifted, and aesthetically balanced appearance.

Surgical Techniques
Various advanced techniques are available, tailored to your specific needs:
Vertical (Lollipop) Technique
Ideal for moderate reductions with less scarring. Incision circles the areola and extends vertically to the breast crease, avoiding horizontal scars.
Wise Pattern (Anchor) Technique
Best for larger reductions requiring maximum tissue removal. Anchor-shaped incision allows comprehensive reshaping and skin removal.
Peri-Areolar (Benelli) Technique
Minimal scarring option for minor reductions. Incision hidden around the areola border, also reduces areola size if desired.
Liposuction-Only Reduction
Minimally invasive option for fatty breast tissue with good skin elasticity. Virtually scarless with faster recovery.
Pedicle Techniques
Preserves blood supply and nerve connections to the nipple during repositioning, maintaining sensation and breastfeeding potential.
Internal Bra Technique
Advanced method creating internal tissue support for long-lasting lift, reducing reliance on skin to hold breast shape.
