Breast Reduction Surgery in Manhattan New York
Information, Before and After Photos. Surgery

Are you considering breast reduction surgery in Manhattan New York? Women commonly choose to undergo breast reduction surgery because the size and weight of their breasts is affecting their comfort and health. Breast reduction represents a means to an end to the physical symptoms and discomfort they have suffered with for years, and sometimes decades.

Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia. Most often, the incisions for breast reduction are similar to those used for breast lift techniques. Breast reduction surgery is a trade-off between the extent of the scars and the extent of the reshaping and size reduction possible. Whenever possible, we attempt to limit the number and length of the incisions for the best aesthetic outcome by incorporating liposuction to treat the lateral portion of the breast.

The most common technique for reducing the breasts involves an anchor-shaped incision that circles the areola, extends downward, and follows the natural curve of the crease beneath the breast. Incisions outline the area of skin, breast tissue, and fat to be removed and also outline the new position for the nipple. In most cases, the nipples remain attached to their blood vessels and nerves. Excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the nipple and areola are moved into their new position. We then bring the skin from both sides of the breast down and around the areola, shaping the new contour of the breast. If the breasts are very large or pendulous, the nipples and areola may have to be completely removed and grafted into a higher position. We then remove excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, and moves the nipple and areola into their new position. Skin that was formerly located above the nipple is brought down and joined to reshape the breast. Sutures are used to close the incisions, giving the breast its new contour. The resulting scars around the areola, below it, and in the crease under the breast are permanent. In general, the more skin that is removed, the better and smaller shape you can expect.
