Breast Reduction

is a common operation, which both reduces the volume of the breast and reshapes the breast.  Women seeking breast reductions are generally seeking relief from the symptoms they cause.  These include; pain, back and neck aches, poor posture, numbness of the fingers and rashes under the breast.

The operation involves reducing the size of the areola, reducing the volume of the breast and advancing the nipple and areola up into a more appropriate position.

There are many types of reductions, but I like to do either the Vertical Breast Reduction or the Anchor Incision Breast Reduction.

Vertical Breast Reduction

has a lollipop incision. I use this type of reduction for women who need smaller reductions and whose breast nipple position is not too low.

Anchor Breast Reduction

has an anchor incision.  I use this on very large breasts whose nipple position is very low.
