Breast reduction surgery provides solutions for those experiencing discomfort or insecurity from enlarged breasts. If you're considering a breast reduction, Dr. Max Polo and the team at Miami Plastic Surgery® can help with our quality care and cosmetic services.
What Is A Breast Reduction?
A breast reduction is, as it sounds, a surgical procedure to reduce the size of someone's breasts. You may be a candidate for this procedure if you have:
- Chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain.
- Chronic skin irritation under the breasts.
- Consistent shoulder grooves from bra straps.
- Trouble finding properly-fitting bras and clothing.
- Insecurities about a larger or asymmetrical chest.
Why Surgeon Expertise Matters Most
Because a breast reduction is a complex surgery, choosing an experienced surgeon is the most critical factor in facilitating a smooth, safe procedure and truly meaningful results. It calls for deep technical skill and an artistic eye to create balanced, natural proportions while alleviating discomfort.
Beyond extensive expertise, the right surgeon will have proof of past results and prioritize your safety and overall well-being above all else. This helps you feel informed, comfortable, and confident as you decide whether breast reduction is the right decision for you. At Miami Plastic Surgery®, Dr. Polo meets every essential standard.
Dr. Polo: A Board-Certified Leader in Breast Reduction Surgery
Dr. Polo is one of Miami's most sought-after plastic surgeons for breast reduction procedures. With over two decades of experience, he holds certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery — the gold standard in the industry. In addition to his extensive training, Dr. Polo has been recognized for his excellence, having been elected to several leadership positions in prestigious organizations, including the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons, among others.
Though Dr. Polo offers a full range of aesthetic treatments — from BOTOX® Cosmetic to facelifts — his deepest expertise is in breast and body contouring, including breast reduction. He also brings a wealth of experience in breast, body, and facial reconstruction for trauma and cancer. This comprehensive background, paired with his broad aesthetic practice, uniquely equips him to perform complex procedures.
What to Expect During Breast Reduction Surgery
If you're considering breast reduction surgery at Miami Plastic Surgery®, here’s what to expect at every step, from your initial consultation to your final results.
Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Polo. During this time, he will ask questions about your aesthetic goals, medical history, and overall health to ensure you are a suitable candidate for breast reduction.
Dr. Polo will also examine your breasts. Based on all the information gathered, he will develop a personalized surgical plan to help you achieve your dream results.
Procedure
The breast reduction surgery may vary based on each patient's individual goals and needs. To begin the surgery, you will be put under anesthesia, and the surgeon will make an incision around the nipple and areola down the breast, where the majority of the fatty tissue is. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Polo will then remove the excess breast tissue and reduce its size. The breast will then be reshaped and reset to a smaller scale, ensuring an aesthetic outcome aligned with your preferences.
Miami Plastic Surgery® is an accredited surgical facility, and Dr. Polo and his team will prioritize your safety and comfort throughout the entire procedure. Every precaution is taken to create the safest possible environment, ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal surgical outcomes.
Recovery
Like with every procedure, the recovery process can look different for everyone. Dr. Polo will send you home with a list of tips and instructions on how to best care for the incisions and allow them to heal.
While the results will show right away, you may have to wait for the swelling to go down. You will need to wear a surgical bra or sports bra for support — this will help with swelling and breast pain you may feel after the surgery. You should also avoid heavy lifting or strenuous physical activity for at least a month.
Benefits of Breast Reduction
Everyone comes to Miami Plastic Surgery® for breast reduction surgery for various reasons. Here are some of the primary benefits of having a breast reduction:
- Reduces pain:Â One reason many people want to have a breast reduction is that large breasts can add weight to the upper front of the body. As a result, many people can develop neck, shoulder, and back pain from the consistent pull forward. Reducing breast size takes a large portion of the weight from your chest to relieve this pressure.
- Enhances mobility:Â The added weight of larger breasts may limit comfort, range of motion, and performance, making activities such as running or push-ups more challenging. A breast reduction can alleviate these limitations and help you lead a more active lifestyle.
- Increases self-esteem:Â While having larger breasts doesn't always mean health concerns, it can be a source of insecurity for many women. Shirts may not fit right, and bra sizes can be inconsistent, making it frustrating to find something you feel comfortable in. Breast reduction can take this issue away completely through a simple procedure so that you can boost your confidence once again.
- Doubles as a breast lift:Â Larger breasts tend to be saggier than smaller breasts. Through a breast reduction procedure, the pulling and reshaping of the breasts can result in younger, firmer-looking breasts.
