Breast Reduction Surgery in Kanpur, also called reduction mammaplasty, reduces the size, improves the shape of the breast, and repositions the nipple. Typically, women who are candidates for this procedure have physical symptoms related to their weight or shape.
The incisions vary based on the size of the breasts before the operation and the final size obtained. An incision is made around the areola accompanied by a vertical incision below the areola with or without a horizontal incision made in the crease below the breast.
Scar-reduced techniques are often applicable in breast reduction surgery and allow for excellent size reduction with better shape, thus limiting the extent of incisions, Dr. Amit Verma, the best plastic surgeon in Kanpur, frequently performs breast reductions with the vertical scar technique, in this way excess gland, fat and skin are removed. The breast is reshaped, and the nipple and areola are moved to a new higher position.
For the reduction of very large breasts, in some cases the nipple and areola may need to be surgically removed and reapplied as a graft. Removal and reapplication of the nipple/areola will result in loss of nipple sensation and inability to breastfeed.
