Whether you are considering a breast reduction for cosmetic or medical reasons, such as back and neck strain or chronic skin rashes, we provide comprehensive surgical care.
Your surgeon will develop a personalized plan based on your needs and may remove a certain amount of excess breast tissue to shape your breasts into your desired size. Often, a breast reduction is done along with a breast lift.
During your breast reduction operation, you’ll most likely be under general anesthesia (where you are asleep during surgery). Your areola and nipples will also be repositioned based on the new breast size and anatomy.
There are a few life changes that may affect your ability to have breast reduction surgery. If you’re planning to lose weight or have children, your doctor may advise you to have breast reduction surgery at a future time. This is because the breast often changes size and shape with weight fluctuations and pregnancy. Having breast reduction surgery may also affect your ability to produce sufficient milk while breastfeeding.
Talk to your doctor about your expectations around breast reduction and to determine if it’s the right choice for you. We’re here to answer your questions.
Many people think of plastic surgery as purely cosmetic, but there’s a lot more to this surgical specialty. Plastic surgeons often do reconstructive procedures that can rebuild body parts after an injury or illness.
