What Is A Breast Reduction?
A breast reduction is as it sounds — a surgical solution 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 proper-fitting bras and clothing
- Insecurities about a larger or asymmetrical chest
What to Expect During Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery can vary depending on your individual goals. During the procedure, you will be put under anesthesia, and an incision will be made around the nipple and areola down the breast, where the majority of the fatty tissue is. The surgeon will then remove the excess breast tissue and reduce its size. The breast will then be reshaped and reset to a smaller scale.
The Breast Reduction Recovery Process
Like with every procedure, the recovery process can look different for everyone. Your surgeon 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
Breast reduction surgery is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. 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 because 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.
- 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 will result in younger, firmer-looking breasts.
