About

Breast reductions are also known as reduction mammaplasties, and they are one of the most frequently performed plastic surgeries Having breasts that are too large for your frame can lead to symptoms that include shoulder pain, neck strain, back pain, and irritation and infection in the breast fold. A breast reduction reduces the weight of the breasts so that women can maintain correct posture. It also addresses large breasts that sag beneath the inframammary fold, where the underside of the breast meets the chest wall. Once the excess tissue is removed, patients are left with a smaller, more shapely breast with volume that is distributed higher on the chest. During a breast reduction, the size and location of the areolas can also be adjusted, so that the nipples are restored to a perkier, natural location higher on the breast mound.

Reduction Mammoplasty Techniques

There are a wide variety of techniques and incision patterns that surgeons use during breast reduction surgeries. Dr Frati designs customized surgical approaches based on the woman’s breast size, tissue distribution, and degree of ptosis, or sagging. Regardless of the treatment plan, the goal remains the same: to eliminate excess tissue, and lift, support, and sculpt the breasts for optimal .

Lollipop Breast Reduction
Also referred to as a vertical incision breast lift, this method is ideal for patients experiencing moderate sagging and a less extensive reduction. It is named after the shape that the incisions take once sutured closed: that of a lollipop. Surgeons remove skin from around the areola, which is left intact, and connected to the important blood supply, nerves, and remaining glandular tissue, so that sensation and the ability to breastfeed is preserved as best as possible.  Additional skin and underlying tissue is removed from below the areola, lightening and lifting the breast.

Anchor Breast Lift
This method, also called an inverted-T breast reduction, is useful in high-volume reductions, and is ideal for women with large breasts who experience moderate to severe sagging.    This technique features an incision along the inframammary crease, so that the lower portion of the breast can be addressed, and sagging effectively eliminated. Once the necessary tissue is removed, and the incisions are closed, breast volume is more evenly distributed, and the breast mound and areola are located above the inframammary crease.

Liposuction
can be a addition to a breast reduction surgery it is a minimally invasive way for Dr Frati to remove fatty tissue from the breasts and surrounding areas for more sculpted results. For women whose large breasts are predominantly composed of fatty, rather than glandular tissue, liposuction alone can be used for a breast reduction, and only small, nearly invisible incisions are required. After infiltrating the area with tumescent fluid, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted into the breast through a small incision. The will then suction away fat and fluid from each breast. It is an ideal option for a minor reduction in breast size and for patients with good skin elasticity, who don’t require skin removal.
