A surgical procedure to reduce breast size by removing excess fat, tissue, and skin.
Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) is a surgical intervention aimed to lessen the volume of the mammary glands, improve the breast shape, and displace the nipple-areola complex.
Dissatisfaction with the large size and congenital mammary glands asymmetry are the main reasons why women decide to reduce their breasts. Besides, large breasts can lead to health problems such as:

Reduction mammaplasty in Italy is performed by various methods. Only the specialist can decide which method is right for you during the consultation.
Vertical breast reduction technique
It is the most preferred method of reduction mammaplasty. The surgeon performs an incision around the areola (periareolar incision) and a vertical one - from the areola to the fold under the mammary gland. This technique helps to significantly change the size and shape of the breast, avoid complications, and saves the possibility of breastfeeding.
Classic (anchor) reduction mammaplasty technique
The operation allows you to remove significant amounts of breast tissue. It is the best method for people with gigantomastia. The surgeon performs a periareolar incision and incisions in the form of an inverted T — along the areola contour, between the areola, the base of the mammary gland, and along the fold under the mammary gland. The suture that remains after the anchor reduction is more noticeable than after other operations, however, the method is highly effective and in some cases is indispensable.

At least 1-2 days after breast reduction in Italy, the patient stays in the clinic. After that, the doctor removes the drainage, applies a bandage, checks indicators, and discharges the patient from the clinic.
In general, the rehabilitation period after the breast reduction surgery takes about 6-8 months. Only after this period, you can evaluate the result completely. However, in 3 months you can notice the first results of breast reduction surgery.
The younger the woman, the better the effect and faster recovery. Young skin is elastic and holds its shape better, so the sutures heal more quickly. The volume of removed tissues also affects the surgery outcome — the larger the breast volume is, the longer the recovery period will be.
More details about the recovery period after breast reduction you can find here.
Even after discharge, the patient needs to follow some recommendations that significantly affect the surgery outcomes:
