Breast Reduction

Breast reductionIf you are a woman with overly large breasts, breast reduction surgery can be a tremendously life-enhancing option. Having the procedure will give you far more than just smaller, firmer breasts. You'll also get significant relief from many physical and emotional discomforts, a new sense of freedom in your exercise and physical activity, and the ability to wear a greater variety of clothing styles. In fact, of all the procedures that plastic surgeons perform, breast reduction ranks among the highest in patient satisfaction.

Breast reduction, also called reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess breast tissue and skin, making your breasts more proportional to the rest of your body. The areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple) may be reduced and repositioned as well.

Is breast reduction right for me?
You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you have any of the following conditions:

• Back, neck or shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts
• Heavy, sagging breasts with very low nipples and areolas
• Breasts that are too large in proportion to your body frame
• Skin irritation beneath the breasts
• Indentations in your shoulders caused by tight bra straps
• Restriction of physical activity due to the size and weight of your breasts
• Feelings of self-consciousness about the large size of your breasts
• Or, one breast that is much larger than the other.

Not only can heavy breasts can cause back, neck or shoulder pain, and shoulder indentations due to tight bra straps, but also extreme self-consciousness.

What should I expect from the consultation?
A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering breast reduction. During this meeting, you and I will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific goals for the surgical procedure. Together, you and I will determine what is the best course of action to take considering your emotional state, your lifestyle and your particular goals.
