Reduction surgery should be considered by anyone who feels uncomfortable with their large breasts.

An ideal candidate should be in general good health.

Breast Reduction Incision Types
Lollipop incision scar
Also known as the vertical incision, a lollipop incision is a fairly new method that requires the surgeon to make an incision around the border of the areola that moves vertically down toward the breast crease. This is considered an ideal option for women seeking a moderate amount of tissue removal due to the fact that it doesn’t require an incision along the bottom of the breast. As a result, there is less scarring. During a lollipop incision, the nipple and areola are repositioned to create a lifting effect. One of the big benefits of the lollipop breast reduction is that blood and nerve connections to the nipple are preserved to help maintain nipple sensation and function.
Inverted-T incision scar
Also known as an anchor incision, the inverted T traces around the areola before shifting down vertically to the bottom of the breast. The same incision is then carried horizontally along the crease where the breast and chest wall meet. The inverted T incision is generally considered ideal when using a reduction to correct significant sagging. It is the incision type that produces the most dramatic lift.
Scarless breast reduction through lipo
With a “scarless” incision, two small incisions totaling roughly 3 mm in length are made in each breast. While this method does produce scarring, the scarring is generally invisible to the naked eye once fully healed

Your First Consultation With a Breast Reduction Specialist
There’s no need to go into your consultation knowing which breast reduction technique is the right one for you. Your surgeon will go over all of the different options with you to help you make an informed choice that aligns with your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, your surgeon will also cover your reasons for seeking a reduction, your healthy history, your expectations, any medications you’re taking, and other important details that may affect the outcome of the procedure.
How to Prepare for Breast Reduction Surgery
The best way to prepare for any form of breast surgery is to maintain a healthy lifestyle in the weeks leading up to surgery. You may be asked to get a baseline mammogram, complete various lab tests, and participate in other evaluations to ensure that you’re fit for surgery. In addition, your surgeon will advise you to give up smoking and drinking alcohol prior to surgery. You may also be instructed to stop taking certain herbal supplements and anti-inflammatory drugs to help control bleeding during surgery.
Breast Reduction Procedure Steps
What to Expect on the Surgery Day
While every client at our state-of-the-art surgical clinic in Miami can expect an experience tailored to their needs, there are some standard processes for surgery day. First, patients are prepped for surgery in a relaxing, sterile environment. The specifics of your surgery will be confirmed with you before you are placed under anesthesia. You should arrive on surgery day with your transportation home arranged in advance. If possible, arrange to have someone stay at your home with you during the first day of recovery.
1. Anesthesia
2. Incisions
3. Breast Reduction and Lifting
4. Areola Repositioning
5. Suture and bandages
Once the breast tissue and excess skin have been removed, the surgeon closes the incisions and applies the necessary bandages.
Can I combine breast reduction with other cosmetic procedures?
Absolutely! It’s very common to combine a reduction with a breast lift. In addition, many patients choose to create a “slimming” makeover by combining a breast reduction with liposuction, tummy tucks, and thigh lifts.

BREAST REDUCTION FAQS
What are the risks of breast reduction surgery?
While breast reductions are considered to be safe, risks do exist for infection, scarring, and loss of nipple sensation. Rest assured that all potential risks and side effects will be disclosed to you prior to surgery.
What is the best breast reduction method?
The answer varies based on the biology of each patient. Generally, the lollipop incision is the preferred incision type because it provides a lifting effect.
What is the difference between a breast lift and breast reduction?
While a breast lift repositions the position of the breast, it doesn’t actually alter the size of the breast. Only a breast reduction removes tissue from breasts. However, excess skin is removed during a lift. It is possible to have a lift and reduction done at the same time.
When will I see the results?
Many patients begin to notice a difference once the swelling subsides three to four weeks after surgery. However, it often takes two to three months for complete results to be seen.
When can I return to my daily activities after the reduction surgery?
Generally, patients are advised to wait six to eight weeks before resuming strenuous activities.
What will my scars look like after breast reduction?
Scarring following a breast reduction will vary based on the incision type used. The scarring pattern will resemble the incision pattern used. Incisions are generally placed to be as invisible as possible. While incision scars appear as thin, raised lines at first, they generally flatten and fade with time.
Does breast reduction affect breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding after a reduction is possible. However, there is always a risk that a reduction will interfere with your future ability to breastfeed. Incision techniques that keep blood supply, nerves, and milk ducts intact instead of displacing them provide the best chance for successful breastfeeding in the future.
How much weight do you lose after breast reduction?
Generally, an average of 2 lb to 8 lb of tissue will be removed from the breasts during surgery. It’s not uncommon for women to lose anywhere from 10 lb to 20 lb following surgery due to the fact that they can exercise more easily.
At what age can you get a breast reduction?
There are no official age restrictions in place for breast reductions. Generally, this procedure is appropriate for a healthy person of a stable weight at any age.
What size do you have to be to get a breast reduction?
There is no specific size threshold when being considered for a breast reduction procedure. However, some insurance companies that cover medically necessary breast reductions require a BMI below 30. Don’t hesitate to contact us to find out if you qualified for breast reduction surgery in Miami.
