How is a breast reduction surgery performed?
Breast reduction is surgery performed to remove excess fat, sagging skin, and some amount of the glandular tissue to make breasts smaller and lifted. The nipple and areola are often replaced to achieve the best result.
Thai doctors apply 2 primary options to conduct breast reduction. They differ with incision shape and surgery complexity:
- Vertical or "lollipop" incision. A doctor makes a lollipop-shaped incision — it goes around the areola and vertically from the areola to the beneath of the breasts. It is applied in case of small intervention when the breasts are not very large, and light correction will be enough.
- "Anchor" breast reduction incision. A plastic surgeon makes an incision around the areola and a vertical one to the beneath of the breast ("lollipop" incision), and continues it along the breast crease. This technique is used to reduce large and sagging breasts.
