Breast reduction surgery is designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts, helping you feel more comfortable, more confident, and more free in your daily life. For many, it’s not just about appearance—it’s about physical relief and emotional well-being.
Breast reduction may be the right option if you:
This procedure helps create a more proportionate figure and can greatly improve your quality of life—physically and emotionally.
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the size of overly large breasts. The primary goals of breast reduction are to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with large breasts, improve body proportions, and enhance overall quality of life.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are typically women who experience symptoms such as chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, grooves in the shoulders from bra straps, skin irritation under the breasts, and limitations in physical activity due to the size and weight of their breasts. In some cases, insurance may cover the cost of breast reduction surgery when it is deemed medically necessary to alleviate these symptoms.
The breast reduction procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportionate and comfortable breast size. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The specific surgical technique and incision patterns used will depend on the amount of tissue to be removed and the desired outcome. Common incision patterns include the anchor-shaped incision, the lollipop incision, and the crescent incision. After removing the excess tissue, the surgeon will reshape the remaining breast tissue and reposition the nipple and areola to a more natural and aesthetically pleasing position. The incisions are then closed with sutures.
The recovery period following breast reduction surgery involves some pain, swelling, and bruising. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort. Patients are typically advised to wear a supportive surgical bra during the recovery period and to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks. While some initial reduction in breast size will be immediately noticeable, the final results will gradually become more apparent as swelling subsides over several weeks to months.
The benefits of breast reduction surgery can be significant for women suffering from the physical and emotional burdens of overly large breasts. The procedure can provide substantial relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain, improve posture, make physical activity more comfortable, and enhance body image and self-confidence. As with any surgical procedure, breast reduction carries potential risks and complications, which will be thoroughly discussed with the patient during the consultation process.
