Breast reduction
Big sized breasts can cause severe backpain and spine related health issues.
Breasts reduction is an operation that helps solve that problem.
Technique
The surgeon makes 2 incisions :
One around the areola and the other vertically to the areola down to the breast’s natural fold.
He removes the excess fat glands and skin,then lifts the breast to an ideal position.
The incisions are then stitched with ultra fine stitching threads to avoid leaving any scars.
These incisions leave a scar in the form of an “I”.
Drains can be placed to avoid blood clotting and bruises.
