The goal of breast reduction surgery is to create a breast shape and size that is more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. During your initial consultation, Mr. Green will assess your health, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable technique based on your body type, skin elasticity, and breast tissue composition. He will also review your medical history to ensure you're a good candidate for the procedure, assess risks and any limitations to the surgery.
Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic and takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the technique used and the amount of tissue to be removed. Recovery times can vary, but most patients return to normal activities within 4 to 6 weeks.
An inverted-T breast reduction, also known as a "Wise pattern" or "anchor" breast reduction, is a surgical technique used to reduce breast size and reshape the breasts. It gets its name from the incision pattern, which resembles an inverted "T" or an anchor. Here's how the procedure is typically performed:
Most women want to preserve their nipple as part of a breast reduction procedure. This involves relocating the nipple to the correct position while ensuring it has a healthy blood supply. A significant risk of this surgery is that poor blood supply may cause part or all of the nipple/areola to die, increasing the risk of infection.
Mr. Green uses three techniques to ensure proper healing of the nipple and areola:
Superior/Medial Pedicle Technique
Central or Inferior Pedicle Technique
Nipple Graft or Tattoo
Restore Fullness to the Upper Breast
Completely Flatten Skin Folds in the Flank
