BREAST REDUCTION – MAMMOPLASTY

ENHANCE YOUR BEAUTY
In Toronto, Canada

Are your breasts too large? Do they get in the way of your daily activities or are they causing back pain?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can make the breasts smaller, lighter, firmer and more proportionate to the rest of the body.

Making breasts smaller is only one of the many facets of breast reduction surgery. So much more than simply reducing breast size, the true goals of breast reduction are beautiful breasts, achieved through enhancement of breast shape, position, projection, proportion and decreased volume. The improvement of breast aesthetics, physical comfort, and self-confidence can be dramatic.

Women with overly large breasts can suffer from a variety of discomforts. If you experience self-consciousness, skin irritation beneath the breast crease, or back, neck and shoulder pain, you may want to look into a breast reduction surgery. Dr. Chad Wu, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs some of the best results in breast reduction Toronto has to offer.

Solutions

If you’re considering Breast Reduction in Toronto, Ontario, our board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Chad Wu has the training and experience to help you obtain your desired outcome.

One technique is not necessarily better than another, but one approach will likely be recommended as the best course of action for you.

Most Breast Reduction procedures are completed using either a vertical incision or an “anchor” (inferior pedicle) incision. The scar, while very visible initially, should fade with time. However, it’s unlikely to ever disappear completely. Most patients report little concern about the scar’s appearance, saying they are just glad to feel good in their body again.

Vertical Incision

Often referred to as the “Lollipop” Breast Reduction technique, a vertical lift uses an incision made around the circumference of the areola (the pigmented area around the nipple) as well as an additional incision from the areola vertically down to the inframammary fold. The inframammary fold is where the breast tissue meets the chest. This additional incision allows Dr. Wu to more effectively address excess skin and reshape the breast to achieve a firmer, fuller, and “perkier” outcome.
