Breast Reduction
Patients with very large and heavy breasts often experience back, neck and shoulder pain which may interfere with their daily activities. For these patients, a breast reduction may
be a medical necessity. With this procedure, a more attractive contour can be obtained
with smaller, lighter and lifted breasts.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia and an overnight stay is
recommended. There will be incisions around the nipple, extending vertically
to the fold of the breast and along the breast fold. Liposuction may be
needed near the armpits to help with the contour.
The patient will have a supportive dressing for the first day then will be placed in a sports
bra that should be worn for 3 to 4 weeks. The scars will fade tremendously over the
following year.
