The first step in the breast reduction process is an initial consultation. You’ll meet with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals. You can discuss your desired breast aesthetics and get answers to all your questions about the procedure.
The surgeon will ask you questions about your medical history, current health, and any pre-existing medical conditions that could interfere with the surgical procedures and your recovery. Once you’re confirmed as a good candidate for the procedure, you’ll find out more about how to prepare and can schedule your surgical appointment.
Your Procedure
Your surgeon will complete all the steps outlined in your surgical treatment plan during your procedure. A breast reduction is designed to enhance the breasts by making them firmer, smaller, and lighter. During the procedure, the surgeon will remove any excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue to improve the shape of your breasts and make them more proportional to your body.
Typically, the surgeon will make an incision around the areola that runs toward the bottom of the breast to remove the excess tissue, skin, and fat. He will then reposition the nipple into a higher, more aesthetic position. At times, surgeons may opt to use liposuction techniques to reduce breast size. Which techniques will be used is something you’ll discuss before your surgery so that you can undergo the right procedure for your needs.
Your Results
Breast reduction is known in the cosmetic world for its ability to create the quickest and most transformative changes in the body after surgery. You’ll notice immediate results following your surgery, and your results will continue to improve over time as your body heals and any swelling subsides. Patients can expect improved breast aesthetics, more proportional breasts, and reduced physical pain previously caused by painful bra straps or neck, shoulder, or back pain caused by their heavy breasts.
One of the many benefits of breast reduction is that the results are permanent. However, if you do gain weight after your procedure, any fat cells in the area may expand. Still, since a significant amount of fat will be removed during the procedure, you can expect your breasts to maintain certain proportions. Maintaining a healthy weight after your procedure will ensure the best and longest-lasting results.
If you’ve been living with physical pain caused by heavy, sagging breasts or feel self-conscious about your disproportionate body frame, there is a solution. Breast reduction can help transform your body and help you achieve your ideal proportions. The first step is to schedule a consultation with a reputable surgeon so that you can proceed with the procedure that will help you achieve your aesthetic ideal.
