WHAT IS A BREAST REDUCTION?




Breast Reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and weight of the breasts by removing excess fat, breast tissue, and skin. It can also improve the shape and position of the breasts, as well as the appearance of the nipples and areolas. Breast Reduction can help people who have large breasts that cause physical or emotional discomfort, such as back pain, shoulder grooves, rashes, nerve pain, poor posture, difficulty in exercising, low self-esteem, or trouble finding clothes that fit well.

ABOUT THE BREAST REDUCTION PROCEDURE



A Breast Reduction procedure is usually done under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep during the surgery. The surgeon will make incisions on your breasts and remove the excess tissue and skin. The nipples and areolas will be moved to a higher position and resized if needed. The incisions will be closed with stitches, and your breasts will be wrapped with bandages or a surgical bra. The surgery can take two to five hours, depending on the amount of tissue removed and the technique used.

BREAST REDUCTION RECOVERY



Breast reduction recovery can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. You will need someone to drive you home after the surgery and stay with you for the first day or two. You will have some pain, swelling, bruising, and numbness in your breasts, which can be managed with medication and ice packs. You will need to wear a supportive bra for several weeks to help your breasts heal and reduce swelling.

You will also need to avoid strenuous activities, such as lifting, bending, or exercising, for about four to six weeks. You will have follow-up visits with your surgeon to check your healing and remove the stitches. The scars from the surgery will fade over time, but they will not disappear completely.

ARE YOU THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR A BREAST REDUCTION?



You may be a good candidate for a Breast Reduction if you have large breasts that cause you physical or emotional problems, and you are in good overall health. You should also have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery and understand the risks and benefits involved. Some factors that may affect your eligibility for breast reduction include your age, weight, smoking status, medical history, and future plans for pregnancy or breastfeeding. You should discuss these factors with your surgeon before deciding to have the surgery.

Breast Reduction may affect your ability to breastfeed, depending on the amount of tissue removed and the technique used. Some breast tissue and milk ducts may be damaged or removed during the surgery, which can reduce the amount of milk you can produce or prevent you from breastfeeding altogether. However, some women are still able to breastfeed after breast reduction, especially if the nipples and areolas are left attached to the breast tissue. You should talk to your surgeon about your plans for breastfeeding before the surgery and consult a lactation specialist after the surgery if you need help with breastfeeding.
