Who is a Good Candidate?
Any woman who is physically and mentally healthy can undergo breast reduction treatment. However, you can be a good breast reduction candidate if you are:
- Unhappy with the oversized breasts
- Suffering from intense chronic pain because of large breasts
- Facing posture issues because of the excess weight on the front side of the body
- An adult woman (more than 18 years of age) with fully developed breasts
- Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Not satisfied with your breast symmetry and have loose and saggy breast
Techniques Used for Breast Reduction
The following breast reduction techniques are used to attain the ideal shape and size of the breasts:
1. Anchor Pattern Technique (The Inverted-T Type reduction)
It’s one of the most common and effective techniques used for reducing the size of breasts. In this technique, the surgeon makes an incision that starts around the nipple and goes down under the breasts. The cut figuratively matches the shape of an anchor which is why it’s called the anchor technique
2. Vertical Incision or Lollipop Pattern Technique
The vertical incision also known as the Lollipop pattern is also very popular for dealing with oversized breast problems. In this technique, the cut starts around the nipple section and goes all the way straight down, but not under the breasts. The benefit of this technique is that it negates the pull of gravity, helps maintain the shape, and offers many other advantages as well.
3. The Periareolar Reduction
This specific technique is not suitable for extremely oversized breasts. It best works when a small amount of fat or tissue is to be removed for a minor breast size reduction. The incision is made around the areolas. This technique is also effective for restoring breast symmetry.
4. Circular Pattern Technique
In this technique, the incisions are made in a circular way around the areolas and the excess fat or skin tissues are removed from the area.
5. Breast Liposuction
The liposuction technique can also be used to dissolve and remove the excess fat to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. The reduced size of breasts is directly proportional to the amount of fat removed.
Our breast reduction surgeons always make sure that the incisions that are made are hidden and not visible to the onlooker. Our surgeons are quite familiar with making these incisions that there is minimum scarring after the procedure. However, if you want to improve the appearance of the scars after breast reduction, you can opt for scar removal treatment.

You need to follow the instructions given by the surgeon to avoid complications and get the best possible results. Some common instructions include the following;
- Follow a healthy lifestyle and diet.
- Take the prescribed tests and medicines.
