Procedure :
A surgical intervention is performed to remove breast tissue and excess skin in order to alleviate physical discomfort caused by large breast size. Additionally, pigmentation around the nipples may be reduced or removed. Breast reduction cases are classified based on the degree of sagging and type, which can be classified as first, second, or third-degree. The main goal of breast reduction surgery is to achieve balance and proportion in breast size with the rest of the body, as well as to improve physical and psychological comfort for women. The procedure is carried out by a professional and experienced cosmetic surgeon, where excess tissue is removed, loose skin is tightened, and the breast is reshaped in a proportionate and natural manner.
Length :
The procedure typically takes from two to three hours.
Anesthesia :
It is performed under general anesthesia.
Hospital Stay :
Usually, the patient is discharged on the same day, but the hospital stay can be extended if necessary.
Risks :
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, anesthesia reactions, loss of nipple sensation, inability to breastfeed naturally, and asymmetry in nipple size, breast shape, and contour. You can discuss all the risks and details during your consultation at Dr. Salma Al Hamads clinic.
