How can I know which breast reduction technique suits my body?

4 weeks ago

I’ve read there are different surgical techniques for breast reduction, like vertical scar, anchor pattern, or liposuction-assisted reduction. How do I know which one is best for my body type and the degree of reduction I need?

There are several techniques for breast reduction  the anchor or inverted-T pattern is used for larger reductions and gives the most control over shape, the vertical or lollipop technique involves fewer scars and suits moderate reductions, and liposuction-assisted reduction is ideal when there’s more fat and less glandular tissue. Your surgeon will choose the best method based on your breast size, skin elasticity, and desired outcome.
