The Benefits of Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction, also known as a Reduction Mammoplasty, reshapes large or heavy breasts into a new, more youthful shape. Breast reduction procedures are done by removing excess skin, breast tissue, and fat that cause the bulk of the weight in the breast. Large breasts often facilitate a myriad of medical problems. These include shoulder strap indents from supportive bras, lower back pain, and skin inflammation below the breasts. Therefore, results from Breast Reduction surgery can be very gratifying. Overly large breasts can be discomforting and painful, reductions become a physical relief to the patient once the excess weight is removed. They enjoy the refreshed and more youthful appearance and the lack of physical pain. Many women who consider Breast Reduction also consider Breast Lift, Liposuction and a Mommy Makeover.

Are you a good candidate for a Breast Reduction?

At our practice in West Palm Beach Breast Reduction patients are considered to be good candidate if:

  • You are physically healthy
  • You have realistic expectations. It is very helpful to look at Before and After pictures to assist you with you expectations and your decision process.
  • Your breasts are too large for your body frame and create neck, back, or shoulder pain
  • You have heavy breasts with nipples and areolas (pigmented skin surrounding the nipples) that point downward
  • One breast is much larger than the other
  • You are unhappy and self-conscious about the large appearance of your breasts
  • You do not smoke. Smokers are strongly encouraged to refrain from smoking for at least a week prior to your surgery date and continue to refrain from smoking for two weeks or until your incisions have healed. This will promote faster healing and reduce the risk of infection.

How is Breast Reduction performed?

Done under IV sedation, the entire procedure requires about 2.5 hours. The surgeon starts by removing excess skin and breast tissue from around the central areolar breast tissue. As a result, the nipple is reshaped and placed higher on the breast. We frequently use the vertical breast reduction lift which eliminates the long horizontal scar over the lower part of the breast. This is something the patient can discuss with the doctor at the time of consultation.
