Ruby Breast Reduction Surgery
This surgery reduces breasts that are too large or sagging, considering functional issues such as eczema and pain as well as cosmetic concerns.
Various causes
Causes include genetics, excess hormone secretion and weight gain.
Functional discomfort
Eczema under the breast or pain in the waist and shoulders can occur.
Experienced specialist
As a difficult surgery, having an experienced specialist perform it is important.
Ruby Points
We plan breast volume and firmness to suit your figure.
Volume fit to your body
Refined dissection minimizes damage to existing tissue and allows more accurate and precise surgery.
Protecting vessels and nerves
Accurate dissection with an endoscope minimizes blood vessel and nerve damage and helps prevent side effects.
Managing scars and pain
Minimal incisions, delicate suturing and careful aftercare minimize incision scars and pain.
Why does macromastia occur?
Macromastia is divided into endocrine and obesity-related types by cause.
Genetics and hormones
Endocrine macromastia, where hormones that drive breast growth are over-secreted due to genetics. It often begins with hormonal imbalance in adolescence.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Breasts can also enlarge temporarily during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
Obesity
Obesity-related macromastia, where the breasts enlarge with overall weight gain, is rising with Westernized diets.
Cup size by breast measurement
Cup size can be estimated from the distance between the upper and lower breast: A 10cm, B 12.5cm, C 15cm, D 17.5cm, E 20cm, F 22.5cm and G 25cm. E cup and above is considered macromastia, and the surgical method may vary with size. Standards differ between bra sizing systems, so use this only as a guide.
What problems does macromastia cause?
Macromastia can cause neck, shoulder and back pain, spinal deformity, skin conditions under the breasts and psychological withdrawal.
Neck, shoulder and back pain
The weight of the breasts causes neck, shoulder and back pain.
Spinal deformity
Prolonged posture to bear the weight can deform the spine.
Headaches
Ongoing neck and shoulder tension can lead to headaches.
Stretch marks under the breast
Skin under sagging breasts can stretch and form marks.
Eczema and skin conditions
Sweat and friction under the breast cause eczema and other skin conditions.
Low confidence
Large breasts can make people self-conscious about clothing and social life.
Breast reduction methods
Breast reduction is divided into the periareolar, vertical and omega (anchor-shaped) incision methods according to breast size and shape, skin elasticity, areola position and degree of sagging.
Periareolar incision
Only the edge of the areola is incised, working like taking contents out of a pouch and tightening its opening again. The scar stays around the areola, so it is the smallest, breast shape and function are kept, and low bleeding allows a quick recovery.
Vertical incision
A method between the periareolar and omega incisions, with less scarring than the omega incision, and it also suits moderate or greater reduction. Because the shape right after surgery differs a lot from the final result, it is a demanding surgery that is hard to judge without a skilled, experienced specialist.
Omega incision (anchor incision)
When enlargement and sagging are both severe, the incision runs around the areola and down in an omega shape. The shape right after surgery is good and results are relatively even, but the scar area is the largest.
Liposuction method
When there is a lot of fat, this method reduces breast size through liposuction. It is effective for fatty breasts without sagging and with good skin elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about self-assessment and comparing surgical methods.
Is the surgical method decided by size alone?
We decide the method by looking at sagging and body shape as well as breast size. The actual plan is decided after an examination.
How do the incision methods differ?
There are several methods, including periareolar, vertical and omega incisions. The scar area and suitability depend on your condition and are explained at your consultation.
