Breast
Reduction - Mammoplasty
Removes fat, glandular tissue, and
skin from the breasts, making them
smaller, lighter, and firmer. Breast
reduction can also reduce the size
of the areola - the darker skin
surrounding the nipple. The goal
of this procedure is to give patient
smaller breasts that are in proportion
with the rest of her body. Breast
reduction is usually performed for
physical relief versus cosmetic
improvement.

Length
Usually, 2-4 hours.
Side Effects
Possible bleeding, infection or reaction to
the anesthesia. Some patients develop small
sores around the nipples after the procedure,
but can be treated with antibiotic creams.
Recovery
It may take 6 months to a year for breasts to
settle into their new shape, but swelling and
bruising will disappear in the first few weeks.
May ache for a couple of weeks. Should avoid
lifting or pushing anything heavy for 3 to 4
weeks. Back to work (if not too strenuous) and
social activities: about 2 weeks.
Risks
Noticeable, permanent scars (poor healing and
wider scars are more common among smokers).
Slightly mismatched breasts, unevenly positioned
nipples, and possible loss of feeling in nipples
or breasts. Since breast reduction surgery removes
most of the milk ducts leading to the nipples,
future breast-feeding may not be possible.
Results
Permanent, sensitive to hormonal shifts, weight
changes, and pregnancy.
Technology
Although techniques vary, the most common procedure
involves an anchor-shaped incision that circles
the areola, which extends downward, and follows
the natural curve of the crease beneath the
breast. After Dr. Desai removes excess glandular
tissue, fat, and skin, moving the nipple and
areola to their new position, he then brings
the skin from both sides of the breast down
and around the areola, shaping the new contour
of the breast. (Liposuction may be used to remove
excess fat from the armpit area).
