Breast Reduction in Iran

2. The Breast Reduction Surgery

A breast reduction surgery can be performed either as an outpatient or inpatient surgery. It usually takes between 2 to 5 hours to be completed. The surgery generally involves three incisions. At first, your surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin. Next, the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position. This may also involve some alteration in the size of the areola. At last, skin that was located above the nipple is brought down and together to reshape the breast. Following the surgery, your surgeon may use liposuction to remove underarm fat and give it a better contour.

Breast Reduction options

1. Liposuction for Breast Reduction

These days, it is possible to use Liposuction in order to reduce the breast size without scars by suctioning the fat out. In addition, with liposuction breast reduction (LBR) you can expect to have a more rapid recovery with less side effects. Liposuction is a good option for those females who have fatty breasts. However, this option may not work on all candidates, especially for younger females with dense breasts.

2. Vertical or Lollipop breast Reduction

The lollipop technique is a new technique of breast reduction that starts with an incision around the edge of the areola. The next vertical incision is made from the areola down to the bottom of the breast. The name of this technique comes from the fact that the scar resembles a lollipop shape. Next, your surgeon will remove excess tissue and fat and tighten the surrounding skin. Vertical Incision or Lollipop breast reduction is suitable for women who only require a moderate amount of tissue removal. Moreover, since this method requires no incision along the bottom of the breast, it involves a shorter recovery time.

3. Inverted-T or Anchor

Inverted-T breast reduction is one of the most common techniques which starts with an incision around the nipple. Next, the incision runs vertically down from the areola and another incision goes horizontally along the crease of the breast. At last, the surgeon removes excess breast tissue and skin reshapes the breasts and gives it a more lifted appearance. This approach offers the greatest amount of lift and removal of excess skin. This method is called so due to the fact that the incision pattern resembles an upside-down anchor. The major drawback of this method is being very invasive and producing large scars.
