Breast Reduction is performed under general anesthesia. The surgery can be performed using liposuction, or by an incision in the breast in order to remove tissue. Liposuction leads to fewer scars, but is suitable only for a minor reduction in breast size. To perform a larger reduction, Dr. Ortegon will make an anchor-shaped incision in your breast around your areola. The doctor will remove excess breast tissue and skin, while elevating the breasts for a more youthful appearance. The doctor will elevate the nipple-areola on your smaller breasts, and then close the incisions.
