Surgical Procedure:
Preoperative care :, During consultation the plastic surgeon will ask about your medical history, including whether a lump was removed from the breast or other conditions that affect your breast. Your surgeon will also ask for your family’s health history. Open up fully to the surgeon to find out your medical history and why you are looking for breast reduction.
Here are some of the things that the plastic surgeon assessed as pre-operative care:
- Evaluate your medical history and general health
- Discuss breast size and expectations of your appearance after surgery
- The doctor will give a detailed description of the process and its risks and benefits.

Ask your plastic surgeon whether you can go home on the day of surgery or if you need to spend the night in the hospital. However, get to prepare someone to take you back home after the surgery. Breast reduction surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia or in a hospital as an outpatient.
During the procedure:
Special techniques to reduce your breast size can vary. Usually, the plastic surgeon makes incisions around the areola and below the breast. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are then removed to reduce the size of each breast.
In most cases, the nipple and areola remain attached to the breast. However, if your breasts are enormous and saggy, you may need to remove the nipples and areola and move to a higher breast position as a skin graft.
Steps of a Breast Reduction Procedure.
Breast reduction surgery is usually done by making a small incision on your breasts with surgical equipment, to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. In some cases, excess fat and skin can be removed by liposuction along with the technique described below. If breast size is mainly due to fat, then liposuction alone can help.
Techniques that used for breast surgery depends upon the personal condition, like breast size, desired reduction, personal preferences, and surgeon’s advice.
Step 1 – Anesthesia
