Types of Breast Reduction Techniques

There are three types of breast reduction techniques: your breast size, skin elasticity, and desired outcome

  • Suitable for large reductions
  • Provides maximum reshaping

  • Less scarring than anchor technique

3. Liposuction-Only Reduction

  • Suitable for mild enlargement
  • Minimal scarring
