Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin and lifts the nipple to give a smaller, higher breast. Scars are around the areola plus vertical (lollipop) or inverted-T. It can markedly relieve physical symptoms.
Who is it for?
People with chronic neck, back or shoulder pain, recurrent rashes under the breast, difficulty exercising or finding clothes. Breast enlargement in men is treated as gynecomastia.
Techniques and scars
- Vertical (lollipop): for moderate size.
- Inverted-T (anchor): for very large, ptotic breasts.
- Liposuction reduction: for mostly fatty breasts with little sagging.
Breastfeeding and sensation
Techniques preserving the nipple’s connection to the ducts may preserve breastfeeding to some extent, without guarantee. Nipple sensation may change.
Recovery and risks
Support bra for some weeks; desk work in 1–2 weeks. Delayed healing, scarring, asymmetry, sensory loss and nipple circulation problems; smoking increases risk.
Frequently asked questions
Can I breastfeed afterwards?
Possibly with some techniques, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Will there be scars?
Yes, around the areola and vertical or inverted-T; they fade over time.
Will it relieve back pain?
