WHAT IS A BREAST REDUCTION PROCEDURE?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, offers a transformative solution for individuals seeking relief from the physical and emotional burden of disproportionately large breasts. This surgical procedure targets excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, sculpting the breasts to achieve a more balanced and proportionate size.

Breast reduction is a procedure to make breasts smaller. The plastic surgeon removes breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to reduce its size and change its shape and position on the chest. Notably, breast reductions are often covered by insurance companies due to their potential to alleviate discomfort, back pain, and chronic migraines or headaches associated with larger breasts. Typically performed under general anesthesia, breast reduction surgery lasts approximately 3-4 hours. Our preferred method involves creating an anchor-shaped incision around the areola and following the natural crease under the breast surface. Excessive glandular fat, tissue, and skin are removed, while the areola and nipple are repositioned to a new location on the breast. Finally, incisions are carefully closed, and sutures, skin adhesives, and/or surgical tape are applied to support the newly reshaped breasts. Through breast reduction surgery, individuals can experience physical relief, enhanced self-confidence, and a renewed sense of comfort and well-being.

You should be an adult in good general health, preferably a non-smoker. Patients undergoing this procedure should have realistic expectations for the results after surgery, as well as be ready to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow the medical team’s instructions for recovery and beyond.

BREAST REDUCTION RECOVERY

  • An elastic bandage or support bra may be recommended to minimize swelling and provide support to the breasts as they heal.
  • A thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain excess blood or fluid and reduce the risk of infection.
  • No heavy lifting, pushing, or straining during the immediate post-operative period.
  • Temporary fatigue and soreness for a few weeks post-surgery is common.
  • Patients may experience slight discomfort for 1-2 weeks after surgery, but most can resume normal activities within 2 weeks, although this may vary based on individual healing progress.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Breast reduction surgery can provide various benefits, including relief from physical discomfort and pain associated with large breasts, improved posture and body proportions, enhanced self-confidence and self-esteem, and increased ability to participate in physical activities and exercise.

Recovery from breast reduction surgery involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. Patients may need to wear a surgical bra or compression garment to help support the breasts and minimize swelling. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks.
Scarring is inevitable with any surgical procedure, but your surgeon will make every effort to minimize visible scarring by placing incisions in discreet locations and using advanced surgical techniques. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
While some initial results may be visible shortly after surgery, it can take several weeks to months for the final results of breast reduction surgery to fully develop as swelling subsides and the breasts settle into their new shape and position. It’s important to be patient and follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions for optimal results.
Like any surgical procedure, breast reduction surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, changes in nipple sensation, asymmetry, scarring, and difficulty breastfeeding. However, serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
