Why Get Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is also known as Reduction Mammaplasty. Women who may be unhappy about having large breasts, and/or want to treat symptoms such as back pain, breathing problems and poor posture, may benefit from breast reduction, during which fat, glandular tissue and skin are removed from the breasts. The resultant smaller breasts increase patient comfort, and look more in proportion to the rest of the body. Ideal candidates for breast reduction in Fairfield County are women with oversized breasts that are causing medical problems, low self-esteem, and/or physical or social discomfort.

The Reduction Mammaplasty Procedure

At the Aesthetic Center in Fairfield County breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the technique used and the individual case, it takes from 2 to 5 hours to perform. One of the following incisions is often used:

Two rings, one larger than the other, around the areola
A keyhole shape, around the areola and down to the breast crease
An anchor shape, beginning in the breast crease, and extending up to and around the areola

Liposuction alone is sometimes used to reduce breast size. One advantage is that it leaves little-to-no scarring. However, because liposuction removes only fatty tissue, patients must have more fatty than glandular tissue in their breasts. Liposuction is also often used on men whose breasts are enlarged.

Recovery From Breast Reduction Surgery

Following a breast reduction Fairfield County patients typically experience soreness, swelling and bruising for several days. Bandages are removed after 2 days, and replaced with a surgical bra. Physical activity should be limited for 1 to 2 weeks, while exercise and other strenuous activity should be avoided for at least 4 weeks. Stitches are removed after 2 to 3 weeks, at which point most patients return to work and other regular activities.

The results of breast reduction are noticeable immediately after surgery. As swelling and bruising subside, the breasts’ appearance improves. Scars fade with time, and usually cannot be seen when a patient wears a bathing suit or low-cut top.

Breast Reduction Surgery

In addition to the risks associated with any surgery, risks related to breast reduction, depending on the technique used, include the following:

Loss of sensation
Scarring
Asymmetry
Excessive firmness
Inability to breast-feed
Loss of skin/tissue where incisions meet
Partial or total loss of areola and nipple

Although breast reduction provides long-lasting results, breasts are still subject to the effects of aging and gravity.
