How Does Breast Reduction Surgery Work?
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the remaining breast tissue.
The procedure also involves repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful and natural position.
A key consideration during surgery is maintaining the viability of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) to preserve:
The Breast Reduction Procedure
1 — Consultation & Evaluation
A detailed assessment is performed to evaluate breast size, skin quality, symptoms, and aesthetic goals.
2 — Surgical Planning
The desired breast size and shape are carefully discussed and planned.
3 — Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
4 — Tissue Removal & Reshaping
Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breast is reshaped to achieve a balanced contour.
5 — Nipple Repositioning
The nipple and areola are moved to a higher, more proportionate position while maintaining tissue viability.
6 — Closure
Incisions are carefully closed to support healing and minimize visible scarring.
Breast Reduction Incision Types & Scar Management
Surgical incision pattern selection is tailored to your breast size, degree of skin laxity, and volume reduction goals. Dr. Vinay Jacob prioritizes minimal incision techniques to ensure optimal breast shape while minimizing visible scarring.
Vertical / Short-Scar Technique (Lejour)
Best suited for moderate volume reduction and mild-to-moderate sagging.
- Incision around the areola and straight down to the breast crease (lollipop pattern).
- Eliminates the horizontal fold incision underneath the breast.
- Faster healing and shorter scar length.
- Preserves natural breast projection and rounded lower pole contour.
Wise Pattern / Anchor Technique (Inverted-T)
Best suited for significant tissue reduction and severe breast sagging (ptosis).
- Incision around the areola, vertically down, and horizontally along the inframammary crease.
- Allows maximum removal of excess skin, glandular tissue, and fat.
- Enables dramatic reduction for heavy, hyper-trophic breasts.
- Hidden discreetly beneath bra and bikini lines.
