Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. It alleviates physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, while enhancing body proportions and improving self-confidence.

At Medixir Clinic, Breast Reduction is tailored to each patient’s anatomy, health condition, and aesthetic goals. Our surgeons aim to create a natural, balanced breast contour that aligns with your body frame and lifestyle.

During the procedure, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed. The nipple and areola are typically repositioned higher on the chest for a youthful appearance. In some cases, the areola is also resized for proportion.

There are various surgical techniques available, including vertical (lollipop) and anchor-shaped incisions, depending on breast size, shape, and the degree of sagging. The method is selected to achieve optimal results with minimal visible scarring.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients go home the same day or after a short overnight stay.

Recovery time is around 1 to 2 weeks for light activities, with full healing expected in 4 to 6 weeks. Postoperative instructions include wearing a surgical bra, caring for incisions, and avoiding strenuous movements.

Scars are inevitable but fade significantly over time and are placed where they are least visible. Our surgeons use techniques to minimize scarring and provide instructions for optimal scar care.

Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good health who experience physical or emotional discomfort due to breast size. Breast reduction is often sought by women with chronic pain, skin irritation, posture issues, or limitations in physical activity.

The benefits include improved comfort, better body posture, easier clothing fit, and enhanced quality of life. Most patients also notice a boost in self-esteem and confidence.

At Medixir Clinic, we prioritize patient safety, satisfaction, and natural results in every breast reduction procedure. Our comprehensive approach ensures long-lasting improvements both aesthetically and functionally.
