What is a breast reduction procedure?
A breast reduction procedure, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical intervention aimed at reducing the size and volume of the breasts. It involves removing excess breast tissue, reshaping the breasts, repositioning the nipples if necessary, and creating a more proportionate and balanced appearance. This procedure can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits, relieving physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, improving posture, and enhancing self-confidence.

Who is a good candidate for a breast reduction?
A good candidate for a breast reduction is typically someone who experiences physical discomfort, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, due to the weight and size of their breasts. Additionally, individuals who feel self-conscious, have difficulty finding properly fitting clothes, or have limitations in physical activities due to the size of their breasts may also be suitable candidates. To determine if you meet the criteria for a breast reduction, it is essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will evaluate your health, assess your breast size and shape, discuss your concerns and goals, and provide expert guidance on the most appropriate course of action for you.

How is a breast reduction surgery performed?
During a breast reduction surgery, an incision is made to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to achieve a more proportionate appearance. The incisions are then closed, and the breasts are wrapped in dressings or a supportive bra. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia in a hospital or surgical center setting, and the specific technique used will depend on factors such as your breast size, shape, and desired outcome.
