and in some case the patient may need a section of the mammary glands to be removed to reach the appropriate size, finally the skin is tightened in the operation area and the wound is closed 

The nipple is then repositioned to match the shape and size of the new breast and finally a bandage is placed over the wound.

Breast reduction with liposuction:

This method is suitable for women with medium or slightly large breasts. There is no need here to make a large surgical incision, and it does not leave any scars or traces in the operation area.

This operation is done under the influence of local anesthesia, and then small circular holes are created in the chest area, and the purpose of it is to insert the tube of the liposuction device and get rid of the excess fat through it.
