BREAST AUGMENTATION: BREAST REDUCTION
Breast Augmentation Dubai | 6 August 2024
Many women experience chronic back, shoulder, or neck pain brought on by bigger, pendulous breasts. Some women may want to reduce the size of their breasts to ease physical pain or to make them appear more proportionate to the rest of the body. A breast reduction, also known as a reduction mammoplasty, involves making incisions, using liposuction, and removing more tissue to remove superfluous fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts.
Breast reductions can alter the breasts’ aesthetics, making them look smaller, firmer, more symmetrical, and more young. Additionally, the size or placement of the areolas or nipples can be altered to better fit the newly augmented breasts.
Liposuction, vertical (also known as a “lollipop”) breast reduction, and inverted T (also known as a “anchor”) breast reduction are the three most popular methods of breast reduction surgery.
There is no singular best method of breast reduction. Each patient will require a different method depending on their individual needs and goals. The best technique for each patient depends on their initial breast anatomy, the amount of tissue that needs to be removed, and their desired end result in terms of aesthetic appearance. An in-person consultation with Dr. Vigo will guide you to the best decision. During a consultation the surgeon may discuss the following:
– what is your current breast anatomy? (size, shape, type of tissue)
– which type of tissue is to be removed? (fatty, glandular)
– how much of a reduction in size do you need?
– do you want to reduce the size or shape of the areola or nipple?
– do you wish to correct asymmetry in the breasts?
– are you seeking a reshaping or lifting of the breasts?
