Las Vegas Breast Reduction Procedure Description:

• The doctor will make an "anchor" shaped incision that circles the areola, extends downward and follows the natural curve beneath the breast. Excess fat, glandular tissue and skin will be removed and the nipple and areola will be moved into their new position. Finally, the skin will be brought together from both sides of the breast, down over the areola to shape the new, lighter breast.

Length of Las Vegas Breast Reduction Procedure:

• A breast reduction can take from three to eight hours depending on the complexity of the procedure.
• This surgery is done on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia. You will be able to rest following your surgery in the comfort of your own home.
