Breast Reduction is a procedure to remove fat, glandular tissue and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola. Candidates include women who are troubled by very large, sagging breasts that restrict their activities and cause them physical discomfort. Techniques for breast
reduction vary. The most common involves an anchor-shape incision
circling the areola, extending downward, and following the natural
curve of the crease beneath the breast. Many of the surgeons at
APS utilize short scar techniques that reduce or eliminate the size
of the scar. These permit the removal of excess breast tissue without
the need for the anchor-shape scar under the breast. Excess glandular
tissue, fat and skin are removed. The nipple and areola are then
moved into their appropriate position.
