During the breast reduction procedure, the excess fat is removed through liposuction in combination with the excision technique. If large breast size is caused due to fatty tissue alone then liposuction is used for breast reduction.
The aesthetic surgeon initiates the procedure by administering a general anesthetic. A small incision is made in the breast depending on the size and shape of the breast to minimize the visibility of scars. The underlying skin tissues are removed, shaped and lifted and the nipple is repositioned along with excision of areola perimeter. The incisions are stitched together using sutures or surgical tapes.
