Large breasts can bring on unwanted attention and can make certain clothing uncomfortable. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Candidates for surgery have reached full physical and emotional maturity.<\/b> Patients who are planning on future pregnancies or are breastfeeding are not good candidates for breast reduction surgery. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Breast reduction is usually done on an outpatient basis.<\/b> Patients go under general anesthesia during the procedure, which takes about 3 to 5 hours. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>There are several techniques for incisions.<\/b> Donut incision runs around the areola, while a keyhole incision (also called a lollipop incision) encircles the areola and runs straight down to the breast crease. The anchor incision borders the areola, extends to the breast crease and then runs along the breast crease. For women who have fatty breasts with excellent skin elasticity, a liposuction technique with microincisions maybe all that\u2019s needed. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Scarring varies with each technique.<\/b> You should expect to have some visible scarring. Incisions around the areolae tend to disappear into the border between the darker areola skin and breast skin. As you heal, scar appearance becomes increasingly subtle to where you should only see a slight line. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Breast reduction can be combined with lift.<\/b> Reducing breast size does not affect projection or breast height on the chest wall. If breast weight caused the skin to become loose and saggy, a lift will reposition the breast tissue to sit higher and project fully. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Results are long-lasting.<\/b> Unless you get pregnant or gain a significant amount of weight, you can expect your breasts to remain the same size after this surgery. With age, however, you may experience normal sagging. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Breast reduction is a life-changing surgery for many women and even men.
