Breast Reduction During Surgery
Your breast reduction will be performed at a hospital and usually doesn’t require an overnight stay. The operation takes a few hours but this will depend on each individual case and whether the breast reduction is combined with another procedure such as a breast lift known as a breast reduction with lift. You will be put under general anaesthetic during the procedure.
There are several different techniques that can be used including ‘anchor’ incision or traditional breast reduction, vertical incision breast reduction and scar-less breast reduction. Your surgeon will discuss these options with you so you can agree on the best technique for you.
Whichever option you and your plastic surgeon agree on, the operation will involve incisions being made on and around your breasts and excess fat and skin being removed. Your nipple will also be removed and repositioned. The technique your surgeon utilizes will determine where your scars are.
