What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

There are many different types of breast reduction techniques that can be performed depending on the specific needs and concerns of the patient. These techniques include less extensive procedure options such as a circumareolar reduction which is designed for women who have slightly smaller breasts. This procedure uses a smaller incision line as it only goes around the areola and down in a straight line to the bottom of the breast. Other techniques such as the anchor-type breast reduction procedure create more extensive incision lines that also extend along the bottom of both breasts. This allows for a greater amount of breast tissue and skin to be accessed and removed and so can achieve more significant results.
