Surgical Methods
1. Surgical Methods Based on Incision Type
Category Vertical Incision Periareolar Incision

Characteristics This method is commonly used. Helps reduce overly large breasts. Does not affect nipple sensation. Incision around the areola suitable for not too large and not severely sagging breasts.
Advantages Removes an adequate amount of tissue, resulting in the most beautiful breast shape post-surgery. The scar is hidden around the areola and not visible.
Disadvantages This method is difficult and requires a skilled surgeon to minimize scarring and complications. Reduces the size slightly and may result in a flatter breast shape.
Category "O" Shaped Incision

Surgical Methods for Correcting Sagging Breasts Depend on Size and Severity of Sagging
  • If the breasts are small and the sagging is not severe, breast augmentation with implants can improve the breast condition.
  • For severe sagging, excess skin is removed by making an incision around the areola, gathering the tissue into a circular shape, and securing it to reshape the sagging breasts.
  • In the case of large and severely sagging breasts, it is recommended to combine breast reduction and lift surgery for the best results.
