Breast Reduction

Defining Breast Tissue Conditions 

Macromastia refers to a condition characterized by excessively large breasts that can significantly impact an individual’s health and quality of life. If you’re experiencing the following symptoms, it might be an indicator that you could benefit from a breast reduction procedure at Neaman Plastic Surgery: 

1. Physical Discomfort: Chronic pain in the neck, shoulders, and back, often exacerbated by the weight of the breasts pulling forward and downward. 

2. Bra Strap Grooves: Indentations or grooves on the shoulders caused by bra straps struggling to support the weight of large breasts. 

3. Skin Issues: Irritation, rashes, or infections in the skin folds underneath the breasts can result from moisture getting trapped and leading to fungal or bacterial infections. 

4. Restricted Physical Activity: Difficulty or pain during physical activities, workouts, or daily tasks due to the size and weight of the breasts. 

5. Breathing Difficulties: Some women might experience difficulty breathing due to the sheer weight and volume of their breasts, especially when lying down. 

6. Poor Posture: A tendency to slouch or hunch forward, often a body’s response to the weight of larger breasts. 

7. Self-consciousness: Emotional and psychological distress resulting from unwanted attention, difficulty finding clothes that fit, or feeling out of proportion with the rest of the body. 

8. Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty finding a comfortable sleeping position due to the size and weight of the breasts.Top of Form 

Breast Reduction Techniques at Neaman Plastic Surgery 

Neaman Plastic Surgery employs state-of-the-art techniques to achieve personalized outcomes with precision and finesse. The Anchor and Lollipop methods stand out among the popular techniques we utilize. Here’s a closer look at these techniques: 

1. Anchor Technique (Inverted-T or Wise Pattern): 

• Description: Named for its distinctive shape, the Anchor technique involves three incisions: one around the areola, a vertical incision from the bottom edge of the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. 
• Benefits: This method allows for significant tissue removal and reshaping, making it suitable for women with larger breasts seeking a substantial reduction. It offers maximum control over the breast’s shape and contour. 
• Considerations: Given its extensive incision pattern, the Anchor technique may result in more visible scarring. However, with meticulous care and expert execution, these scars often fade substantially over time and can be hidden under a bikini top or bra. 

2. Lollipop Technique (Vertical Reduction): 

• Description: The Lollipop technique involves two primary incisions: one encircling the areola and a second running vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the breast crease, creating a shape reminiscent of a lollipop. 
• Benefits: Ideal for women seeking a moderate reduction, this technique results in less scarring than the Anchor method. The Lollipop approach also provides good control over reshaping, especially in the central and lower parts of the breast. 
• Considerations: While the scarring is limited compared to the Anchor technique, there is still a potential for visible scars. However, with proper post-operative care and our surgical team’s expertise, scars often heal well and become less noticeable.
