What is a breast reduction?
A breast reduction is an outpatient treatment performed while the patient is under general anesthesia in Melville, NY. The length of your surgery depends on the incision method used and the degree of your reduction. We will either use a vertical incision or an inverted T incision. During surgery, we reduce breast fat and tissue, and tighten all remaining skin and tissue before placing stitches at the incision lines.
