During breast reduction surgery, incisions are made around the areola, vertically down the lower
portion of the breast, and sometimes along the inframammary fold, depending on the surgical
technique used. Excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped and
lifted to achieve a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

• Recovery from breast reduction surgery involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can
  be managed with pain medication and proper post-operative care. Patients are typically advised to
  wear a supportive surgical bra and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks following surgery.
  Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a week or two, but full recovery may
  take several weeks to months.

The results of breast reduction surgery are long-lasting, although factors such as aging, weight
fluctuations, and pregnancy can affect the appearance of the breasts over time. By maintaining a
stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle, patients can help prolong the results of their breast
reduction surgery.
