DESCRIPTION:

Breast reduction is the removal of excess breast tissue and at the same time rearranging the breast and lifting the nipple position to create a rounder, fuller breast with a more youthful appearance.

Depending on the amount of breast tissue to be removed and also the extent of droopiness, this procedure can be achieved via a short scar (lollipop scar) or wise pattern (anchor scar) technique.

Before a breast reduction procedure Dr Liakos will assess you and determine if pre-screening (ultrasound or mammogram) is necessary depending on your age and medical history.
