How Breast Reduction Works

How Breast Reduction Works Dr. Andrew Ordon: So in a nutshell, I want to give you a little bit of an idea of how we do this doctor if you can hold it for me. How do you like this breast it comes pre-cut. Female: It does. Dr. Andrew Ordon: This is pretty cool. Female: And it doesn’t squirt milk. Dr. Andrew Ordon: So what we do we start by making incisions we’re actually just taking a wedge out of the breast. We start by peeling of the skin that’s what we call removing the skin envelope or brassier. We then actually remove you know the breast tissue like so in the form of a wedge, okay so you’ve reduced the volume of your breast and then you just saw things together like saw these two sides come together and give you a nice breast cone with breast projection et cetera to do that you’re left with an incision that shape like an anchor or an inverted tea. It takes about two to three hours. Dr. Lisa Masterson: I like to say even though it seems like they're maybe a lot of scars in it, you don’t make any scars at all but. Dr. Andrew Ordon: Well there is always scars but-- Dr. Lisa Masterson: Yeah, but the women that I have see who had breast reductions are so, so happy.
