Breast Reduction in Bangkok, Thailand

          Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the breast, including excess skin, fat, and breast glands. People with oversized breasts usually have discomfort symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, chronic rash under the breasts, difficulty fitting with clothing and bras, and poor self-image confidence. Breast reduction surgery will improve the physical and body image.

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers 2 techniques for breast reduction as follows;

1. Breast reduction by Keyhole-scar

          The incision is around the areolar and vertically down to the breast crease. This technique is suitable for breast sizes that are not too large. This advantage is a less scar than an inverted T scar.

2. Breast Reduction Inverted T-scar 

          For patients with significantly large breasts, the surgeon will make an incision in the skin that takes the form of an inverted T-scar (Picture 2), remove the excess fat, and adjust the shape. The size is reduced to the patient's preference. This technique is available for every size, but the scar is more visible than a Keyhole scar.
