BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY
Breast Reduction Surgery
Considered to be a happy surgery, breast reduction surgery is ranked as having the highest percentage of satisfied post-operative patients. The purpose of the surgery is to reshape the size of your breasts so they fit with the rest of your body and stop causing you pain.
Patients start considering breast reduction if:
- Their breasts create neck, back, and shoulder pain.
- They have difficulty breathing.
- It is hard for them to find clothes that fit right.
- Their breast development has stopped.
- They are in good physical and mental health. It is important to understand that the recovery process requires patience.
There are some pros and cons to think about before deciding on receiving the surgery.
Pros:
- Breasts will be in proportion with your body.
- Breasts will feel firmer.
- Eliminates back, neck, and shoulder pain.
- Exercising will be easier.
- Clothes fit better.
- Increased confidence.
Cons:
- Decreased sensation.
- Breast-feeding might be difficult.
The surgery itself is an outpatient procedure that typically takes two to four hours to perform. There are two main incision patterns that can be made depending on how big the reduction is. One option is the anchor pattern; this is best for larger reductions. The other option is best for smaller reductions and is known as the lollipop pattern.
Overall, the surgery will impact your life tremendously. Dr. Fodero’s patients have reported a dramatic decrease in their physical discomfort.
