Breast reduction (or mammaplasty) patient shown before surgery with oversize, heavy breasts and shoulder indentations caused by tight bra straps.
|
Incisions are made in the breast to define the area of excision and the new location for the nipple. Breast tissue, fat and skin in the light shaded areas are then removed. Skin is removed from the darker shaded area, and the nipple is elevated.
|
|
Skin formerly located above the nipple is brought down and together to reshape the breast.

The postoperative patient shown with resultant scars around the areola, extending vertically down the breast and horizontally along the crease underneath the breast where, for the most part, the horizontal scar is hidden.
