How Does Breast Reduction Work?

The procedure begins with Anesthesia, typically general anesthesia, to ensure safety and comfort throughout the surgical process.

Nipple Repositioning is performed to align the nipples and surrounding darkened area with the new breast shape. Finally, the incisions are Closed using specialized techniques to ensure a seamless appearance and facilitate a smooth recovery process.

Temporary nipple changes are familiar with breast reduction patients during the post-op period, but they usually improve over time.

Can I still breastfeed after breast reduction?

The ability to breastfeed after a mammoplasty depends on how much tissue is removed and what kind of incision technique was used.
