Women with very large, sagging breasts tend
to have neck, back and shoulder pain. Patients find breast
reduction surgery to greatly benefit their life. Patients
not only have relief from their symptoms but also the ability
to exercise better, wear more fitting clothes and many have
psychological benefits. Of all surgeries that plastic surgeons
perform, breast reduction ranks among the highest in patient
satisfaction. Patients of most any age may have breast reduction
surgery, however, most surgeons recommend waiting until after
breasts have fully developed. Breast reduction surgery is
not recommended for those women who intend to breast-feed.

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you have
any of the following problems:
•
Neck, back or shoulder pain.
•
Shoulder notching / furrowing from you bra strap.
•
Heavy, sagging breasts.
•
Breasts that are too large for your body size.
•
Irritation and rash beneath your breasts.
•
Difficulty with exercise and physical activities due
to large heavy breasts.
•
One breast that is larger than the other creating a
significant asymmetry.
During Breast Reduction surgery, fatty tissue
in the breast, along with glandular tissue and excess skin
are removed. By removing these elements, the breast can be
pulled tighter making them lighter, smaller and firmer. Breast
Reduction surgery is generally performed under a general anesthesia,
and usually takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. After
your surgery, you will be wrapped in an elastic bandage, or
surgical bra over gauze for 2-3 days. You may have a drain
placed in to allow excess fluid and or blood to drain from
the incision. You can expect a recovery period of about 2
weeks following your procedure.
