breast reduction

The procedure involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, allowing for a lighter, firmer, and more symmetrical appearance. If needed, the nipple and areola are repositioned to enhance natural proportions. Scars are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible, blending seamlessly with the body's natural contours.

A Breast Reduction can:

• Relieve discomfort caused by large, heavy breasts
• Improve posture and mobility for a more active lifestyle
• Enhance breast shape and symmetry for a balanced appearance
• Reduce skin irritation and bra strap indentations
• Boost confidence in fitted clothing and swimwear

Our experienced plastic surgeons personalize each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring natural and harmonious results. Whether performed as a standalone surgery or combined with a Breast Lift for added firmness, Breast Reduction can significantly improve comfort, aesthetics, and overall well-being.

A Breast Reduction helps alleviate discomfort caused by overly large breasts while enhancing shape, posture, and overall confidence. Our experienced surgeons ensure balanced, natural results tailored to each patient's needs.

Benefits of a Breast Reduction

• Reduces excess breast tissue and weight, relieving discomfort and strain on the back, neck, and shoulders
• Improves posture by reducing the heaviness that affects spinal alignment
• Enhances breast symmetry and proportion, creating a balanced, natural look
• Refines nipple and areola position for a more youthful appearance
• Boosts confidence and comfort in clothing, swimwear, and physical activities

Who is a good candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Experience physical discomfort from overly large breasts, such as pain or skin irritation
• Desire a smaller, more proportionate breast size
• Have difficulty finding properly fitting bras or clothing due to breast size
• Are at or near your ideal weight and able to maintain it
• Are in generally good health and do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations about the results and recovery process

A Breast Reduction can significantly enhance comfort, mobility, and overall well-being, offering a more balanced and lighter silhouette.

This structured timeline ensures a smooth recovery, allowing patients to heal comfortably before returning home with confidence in their results.

Recovery & Aftercare: Breast Reduction Surgery

Recovering from a Breast Reduction requires patience and strict adherence to post-operative care. While initial healing occurs within a few weeks, full recovery—including scar maturation and final results—can take several months. Below is a general timeline of what to expect and how to care for yourself during recovery:

Week 1:

• Rest and avoid strenuous activities to minimize swelling and discomfort.
• Wear a supportive surgical bra 24/7 to aid healing and reduce swelling.
• Sleep on your back with your upper body elevated to relieve pressure on the chest.
• Gentle walking is encouraged to promote circulation and prevent blood clots.
• Avoid lifting heavy objects, bending, or stretching.

Week 2:

• Resume light daily activities, but avoid movements that strain the chest.
• Continue wearing the supportive bra as directed (typically for 4–6 weeks).
• You may return to office work, depending on comfort and healing progress.
• Mild tightness and discomfort are common but should gradually improve.

Week 4-8:

• Gradually resume physical activities, but avoid heavy lifting, jumping, or exercises that stress the chest.
• Begin scar care as recommended by your surgeon (e.g., silicone gel or gentle massage).
• Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
• Mild tightness and discomfort are common but should gradually improve.

Long-Term:

• Scars will fade over 6-12 months, becoming less noticeable.
• Maintain a stable weight to preserve your results.
• Avoid sun exposure on scars, or apply sunscreen to prevent pigmentation changes.
• Support breast tissue with a proper-fitting bra for long-term comfort and shape maintenance.

By following your surgeon's post-op care instructions, you can ensure smooth healing and achieve beautifully balanced and natural-looking results.

Risks & Considerations

While a Breast Reduction is a safe and effective procedure when performed by experienced surgeons at Allmedica, it's essential to understand potential risks and complications. Being informed allows for a confident decision and supports a smooth recovery.

Some of the possible risks include:

• Scarring - Incisions are carefully placed, but scars are permanent. They fade over time and can be minimized with proper care.
• Infection or delayed healing - Can occur if post-operative instructions are not followed or due to individual healing responses.
• Seroma (fluid buildup) - Fluid may collect under the skin and require drainage or compression adjustments.
• Wound separation or delayed healing - Excessive tension on healing tissues can affect recovery, making careful movement essential.
• Changes in nipple sensation - Temporary numbness or altered sensitivity may occur but typically improves over time.
• Breast asymmetry - Minor differences in size or shape may require further refinement.
• Revision surgery - In rare cases, a secondary procedure may be needed for optimal results.

Your surgeon will go over all potential risks during your consultation and provide personalized advice to minimize complications and ensure the best possible outcome for your Breast Reduction.
