HOW IS BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY PERFORMED?

The size and shape of your breasts, as well as your desires regarding the outcome of breast reduction surgery, will influence what type of incision method Dr. Bulan recommends for your procedure.

However, in the most common approach to breast reduction surgery, Dr. Bulan makes three incisions on each breast: one that extends around the perimeter of the areola (the more darkly pigmented skin that surrounds the nipple); another that extends vertically from the bottom rim of the areola to the fold underneath the breast; and one that runs along the natural curvature of the breast.

Dr. Bulan then removes excess tissue, fat and skin from the breast before elevating the nipple and areola to a higher position. Meanwhile, he will also reduce the size of the areola, which is usually stretched or enlarged in large breasts. The surgeon next brings skin that was situated above the nipple down below the nipple to reshape the breast. Dr. Bulan may also opt to perform liposuction under the arm to improve the contour in that area.

Typically, Dr. Bulan can keep the nipple and areola attached to the underlying mass of breast tissue to maintain nipple sensation and allow you to breastfeed as needed. This cannot be guaranteed, however.

Breast reduction techniques may vary from patient to patient. For instance, the nipple and areola may need to be detached entirely in those with extremely large breasts. Other patients may be able to forgo the vertical incision that runs from areola to breast crease. Dr. Bulan will evaluate your specific situation during consultation and let you know which breast reduction technique he recommends.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

Dr. Bulan usually performs breast reduction surgery as an outpatient procedure, so you will need an authorized adult to drop you off at and pick you up from surgery. You should also have someone stay with you the first night after the procedure. Before the day of surgery, Dr. Bulan will give you detailed instructions for pre- and post-operative care.

It is important to mention that with any surgery come inherent risks. Nonetheless, Dr. Bulan is a consummate professional and takes every safeguard possible to reduce the surgical risks. On your end, you can minimize the risk of complications by following all his instructions carefully both before and after surgery. This will also help give you the best results possible.
