Breast reduction surgery (جراحة الثدي في الرياض) isn’t one-size-fits-all. Various surgical techniques exist to address different breast sizes, shapes, and patient goals. Choosing the right technique is crucial for optimal results and recovery.
The Anchor (Inverted-T) Technique for Large Breasts
The anchor technique involves three incisions—around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease—allowing maximum removal of tissue and skin. This method is ideal for women with very large or severely sagging breasts.
The Vertical (Lollipop) Technique for Moderate Reductions
With incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, this technique suits women with moderate breast size and mild sagging. It offers a good balance of effective reduction and less visible scarring.
The Liposuction-Only Technique for Fatty Breasts
Liposuction can reduce breast size by removing fat tissue without incisions. Best suited for patients with good skin elasticity and minimal sagging, this minimally invasive option has quicker recovery and less scarring.
The Donut (Circumareolar) Technique for Minimal Reduction
This method involves a circular incision around the areola and is used for mild reductions or to reposition nipples. It’s less invasive but not suitable for large volume removal.
Factors Influencing Technique Choice
Body type, breast size, skin quality, degree of sagging, and personal preferences all influence the surgical plan. Your surgeon will evaluate these to recommend the most appropriate technique.
Advantages and Drawbacks of Each Technique
-
Anchor: maximum reshaping, more scarring
-
Vertical: good shaping, moderate scarring
-
Liposuction: minimal scarring, limited correction
-
Donut: minimal scarring, best for small reductions
The Role of Expert Surgical Planning
An experienced surgeon will tailor the procedure to your body, ensuring natural results and balanced proportions.
Recovery Differences by Technique
Less invasive methods often mean shorter recovery, while more extensive surgeries require longer healing but provide more dramatic changes.
What You Can Expect Post-Surgery
Regardless of technique, expect some swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness. Following aftercare instructions will support healing and optimal outcomes.
Making an Informed Decision
Discussing your goals and concerns openly with your surgeon is key to choosing the best breast reduction technique for you.
