Breast Reduction Surgery

Reclaiming Your Body With Breast Reduction Surgery

Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their skin. If you have disproportionately large breasts, you may be experiencing physical discomfort and pain or avoid certain physical activities. It could even be affecting your emotional and mental health. If you’re struggling with oversized breasts and looking to take control of your body, breast reduction surgery may be the right solution.

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure that removes excess tissue from one or both breasts to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size. Heavy, oversized breasts may cause back and shoulder pain, create a disproportionate silhouette, and cause skin irritations. One breast may also be noticeably different in size compared to the other. Breast reduction provides relief to these problems. In addition to decreasing the weight and volume of the breasts, breast reduction also molds the breast into a firmer, more youthful shape.

Although many patients choose breast reduction to address medical issues, patients who are simply unhappy with their breast size may still pursue the surgery for cosmetic reasons. This could be because of social stigma, low self-esteem, or other factors that impact your emotional and mental well-being.

The Benefits of Breast Reduction

The weight of overly large breasts may cause long-term health concerns, such as thoracic kyphosis, a painful condition that alters the curvature of the spine and makes it difficult to breathe. Breast reduction can reduce physical pain, alleviate medical problems, and help boost self-confidence. It can also make it easier to perform common physical activities like running and working out.

Procedure And Recovery

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes three hours to complete. The procedure is individualized according to the patient’s unique anatomy, desired outcome, and the doctor’s preferences. Post-procedure, patients can return to work and non-strenuous activities within one week. Bruising, swelling, and discomfort may remain for up to three weeks. The final appearance of the breasts may not be apparent for several months, as the breasts take time to settle, and surgical scars continually fade.
