Breast Reduction

The cost of breast reduction surgery in Pakistan ranges between 50,000-1500,000 PKR. The surgery cost varies depending on the surgeon you consult and the clinic's location.

Breast reduction is not a treatment procedure but more of a cosmetic procedure. A few conditions leading to the surgery are;

Physical discomfort: Symptoms can include back, neck, and shoulder pain, poor posture, and skin irritations under the breasts.

Restricted functioning: Enlarged breasts limits physical activity and exercise in women.

Psychological issues: Breast reduction surgery is performed on women who often feel self-conscious due to their enlarged bodies. 

Disproportionate breast size: The breast size is significantly out of proportion with the rest of the body, leading to breast reduction surgery.

What is the procedure for Best Reduction?

The procedure for breast reduction has two different approaches that are;

Anchor (Inverted-T) Method: This technique involves three incisions: one around the areola, another vertically from the areola to the breast crease, and a third along the natural curve of the breast crease. This allows for maximum skin, tissue, and fat removal and is typically used for women with larger breasts. However, it may result in more noticeable scarring.

Vertical (Lollipop) Method: This approach requires only two incisions: one around the areola and a second running vertically from the bottom to the breast crease, creating a "lollipop" shape. This method is less invasive and leaves less scarring than the anchor technique, but it is usually suitable for those needing a moderate reduction and lift.
