This 39 year old woman underwent breast reduction in which approximately one and a half pounds of tissue was removed from each breast.
I view breast reduction as a two part process: first, tissue is removed to decrease the size and weight of the breasts; second, the remaining tissue is rearranged to create a new breast that has an aesthetically appropriate appearance. This rearranging process is very similar to what is done in a breast lift.
In this individual’s case, the incisions used to perform the breast reduction were of the “anchor” type and the incisions healed well.
