How a Breast Reduction Procedure is Done

Breast reduction La Jolla is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller and more proportionate breast size.

Dr. Bolitho makes precise incisions around the nipple area, which may extend downward
Extra tissue is strategically removed
The remaining breast tissue is reshaped and lifted for a more youthful appearance
The incisions are closed, resulting in minimal scarring.
After surgery, there will likely be some discomfort and swelling, which gradually improves over time, unveiling a more comfortable and balanced chest.
