Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is offered at City Dermatology Clinic Dubai to help patients manage the physical and emotional impact of overly large breasts. Our plastic surgery consultants, including Mr Reza Alamouti and Mr Parviz Sadigh, are experienced in advanced breast reshaping techniques designed to reduce discomfort and improve aesthetic outcomes. By removing excess breast tissue, the procedure can relieve chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain while creating a more balanced, natural breast contour-enhancing both comfort and confidence.
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, at City Dermatology Clinic provides significant relief from the discomfort caused by excessively large breasts. This surgery not only improves physical well-being by alleviating pain in the back, neck, and shoulders but also enhances the breasts’ aesthetic appearance. Our clinic offers several surgical techniques, each tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.
| Technique | Description |
|---|---|
| Vertical or “Lollipop” Technique | Involves a circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision down to the breast fold. Ideal for moderate reductions with natural shape. |
| Inverted “T” or Anchor Technique | Uses an anchor-shaped incision to allow significant tissue removal and reshaping. Best for larger reductions and more ptotic (drooping) breasts. |
| Liposuction-Assisted Reduction | A less invasive option that removes excess fat through small incisions. Suitable for patients with more fatty than glandular tissue. |
| Free Nipple Graft Procedure | Used in severe cases. The nipple-areola complex is removed and repositioned. Allows large reduction but may affect sensation and breastfeeding. |

Overview of Your Procedure
During your first consultation at City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, our consultant will review your medical history and discuss your motivations for breast reduction surgery. This is an opportunity to address any concerns and explore both the surgical and non-surgical options available. We will examine the size and shape of your breasts and assess your overall health to ensure you are a suitable candidate. If you decide to proceed, we will outline the potential risks and benefits, set a surgery date, and provide comprehensive pre-operative instructions, including advice on medication management and smoking cessation.
As your surgery date approaches, City Dermatology Clinic Dubai will provide detailed guidelines to prepare you for the procedure. This includes stopping certain medications that might increase bleeding risk, adhering to dietary restrictions, and arranging for post-operative support, such as a special bra. Preparation at home, like setting up a comfortable recovery space, is also discussed to ensure a smooth transition post-surgery. For those exploring non-surgical alternatives, further discussions on options like physical therapy or weight management are available.
On the day of your breast reduction surgery, you’ll arrive at City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, where our team will conduct a final pre-operative assessment, including vital signs and surgical markings. You’ll receive medication to ensure comfort throughout the procedure, which is performed under general anaesthesia. Our surgeons will carefully remove excess tissue and skin, and reshape the breasts to your desired contour, possibly repositioning the nipple. Expect to spend several hours at the clinic, from surgery to initial recovery, ensuring you are stable and comfortable before discharge.
