About Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. Dr. Khan specializes in techniques that provide significant symptom relief while maintaining a natural breast shape and preserving nipple sensation whenever possible.

Surgical Techniques:
  • Anchor/Inverted-T – Ideal for significant reduction, provides maximum reshaping and lifting
  • Vertical/Lollipop – Reduces scarring while achieving excellent shape for moderate reductions
  • Periareolar – Minimal scarring approach for smaller reductions and reshaping
  • Liposuction Only – Fat removal technique for patients with good skin elasticity
Key Benefits:
  • Relief from neck, back, and shoulder pain
  • Improved posture and physical comfort
  • Enhanced ability to exercise and stay active
  • Better-fitting clothing and undergarments
  • Reduced skin irritation and rashes
Nipple Preservation Options:
  • Pedicle Technique – Maintains blood supply and sensation to nipple
  • Free Nipple Graft – For very large reductions where pedicle isn't feasible

Dr. Khan will carefully evaluate your anatomy and discuss which technique will best achieve your goals for comfort, function, and aesthetics.
