What are the types of Breas-t reductions one can have?
The procedures of Breas-t reduction are varied: Liposuction: Although liposuction is performed in almost all chest reduction, it is used as an adjunctive procedure rather than the mainstay of treatment. It is usually used to reduce the fat component of the chests and the sides. Alone liposuction will only benefit females where they have a substantial fat component in the chests. This usually happens with post-menopausal women.
If one does liposuction alone the chests can be reduced only to a moderate degree with some amount of sagging from the procedure.
Doughnut Incision: This is also called the peri-areolar approach. Again this is of limited use and pertains to only certain types of chests.
Lollipop incision: The lollipop incision is the most common method now used in chests reduction worldwide. It has an incision around the areola and a line running vertically downwards from the areola to the chest crease.
Anchor incision: In very large chest often anchor incision is utilized to give a pleasing shape to the chests. This has an incision around the areola, vertically downwards to the crease and along the chests crease.
Procedure details
The surgeon will make elaborate markings on your chests before the procedure because once you lie down the chests change shape and it becomes the surgeon guide as to what tissue is to be removed and what to preserve.The procedure is carried out under General anesthesia and may require you to stay one night in the hospital. Usually drains are put during the surgery to drain out the collections that may happen in the post-operative periods. The drains are usually removed after a day. The procedure may last 3-5 hours or longer if associated procedures are to be performed. The skin that one sees on the upper part of the areola comes down and the remaining chest tissue is draped to give a lifted areola, firmer and rounder chests. The areola is shifted up and can be made smaller.
Precautions before surgery?
One should be in a stable healthy condition before one opts for this surgery. You should have realistic expectations from the surgery. One must disclose the full medical history to the surgeon including what medications one is taking on a regular basis. If you have a fungal infection around the chest or anywhere else, that will need to be cured before you opt for this surgery.
Results expected
