Breast Reduction Surgery Method
Learn about AB Plastic Surgery's Breast Reduction Surgery Method.
The reduction method for breast reduction surgery is determined based on the size of the breast and the desired outcome.
While the specific technique may vary, the basic surgical incision methods used in breast reduction are similar to those used in breast augmentation.
Areola Incision
Scarring is limited to the area around the areola, resulting in minimal scarring and a quick recovery. However, it is important to note that the areola incision technique requires the circumference of the areola to exceed 4 cm. In cases of severe megamastosis, where the breasts are excessively large, this technique may not be suitable due to the extensive tissue removal required.
- Scar
- Areola shape
- Corrective effect
- Inability to reduce moderate amount
- Breast sagging
- May look slightly flat
- Areola size
- Increased
- Advantages
- Scars are barely noticeableEasy for unmarried women to practiceFeeding is possible by preserving nipple sensationShort operation time
- Disadvantage
- Cannot reduce a large amount (suitable for those with a small amount of shrinkage)
Vertical Incision
The vertical incision method is a surgical technique that combines the advantages and addresses the disadvantages of the existing "T" shape incision method and areola incision method. It can be applied to breasts of various sizes, ranging from relatively large to small, without compromising nipple sensation or breastfeeding capability.
- Scar
- Areola +"I" shape
- Corrective effect
- Can reduce a large amount
- Breast sagging
- The effect of supporting from below is high
- Areola size
- Adjustable
- Advantages
- Beautiful chest lineFeeding is possible by preserving nipple sensationA large amount can be reduced, so the correction effect is highSmaller scar than in T-shape incision
- Disadvantage
- Scars may occur than areola incisions, but less than in T-shape incision.
T Shape Incision
This surgical method involves making an incision in a specific shape from the nipple to the sub-breast fold. The surgery's outcomes are easy to predict and have proven effective, even in cases of severe megamastosis. However, it is important to note that the scar resulting from the surgery is relatively long.
- Scar
- Areola + ㅗ shape
- Corrective effect
- The largest amount can be reduced
- Breast sagging
- No flatness
- Areola size
- Adjustable
- Advantages
- The most popular method worldwideThe largest amount can be reduced, so the corrective effect is high
- Disadvantage
- Although the incision length is long, scars may remain, it gradually fades and is hidden behind the bottom of the chest, making it difficult to see.
