What is breast reduction surgery?

During breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammoplasty, the surgeon will remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to make the breasts appear smaller. Breast reduction seeks to bring your breasts into proportion with the rest of your body, and it can also help to alleviate the pain that comes with having large breasts. 

Breasts that are very big might create physical and mental issues in some people. Back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation behind the breast crease, are all possible symptoms of oversized breasts. Additionally, excess breast tissue might make it difficult for a woman to live an active life. Some women may also feel self-conscious about their appearance.

Pros of Breast Reduction 

Breast reduction surgery is unquestionably popular among women with large chests. Many people achieve outstanding outcomes and gain the following advantages: 

Improved Self-Esteem 

Having a large chest can cause many women to feel self-conscious about their image. Women who undergo breast reduction surgery report feeling better about themselves, their body image, and their health following the treatment, according to many clinical studies. 

Proportionate Features

If you have asymmetrical breasts, breast reduction surgery may be able to help. Your surgeon can help you achieve the size of breasts you desire while also keeping them proportionate. 

A breast lift restores the natural, higher position of the breasts, as they were when you were younger. A breast lift can also improve your self-esteem and confidence in your physique. 

Insurance coverage may be available

Keep in mind that most cosmetic operations are not covered by health insurance. However, some insurance companies will cover the cost of an operation such as a breast reduction that helps to alleviate physical issues such as back and neck discomfort and skin issues. 

Before your treatment, your plastic surgeon can assist you in gathering the measurements and information you’ll need to provide to your insurance provider.

Cons of Breast Reductions

While the majority of women benefit from breast reduction, there are certain hazards to be aware of. 

Complications 

Any anesthetic-assisted surgical treatment carries hazards. Infections, blood clots, anesthetic side effects, and other complications are all possible. Be sure to discuss any concerns you have about the risks or complications associated with getting a breast reduction in Phoenix. Additionally, seek out only trusted and licensed plastic surgeons to perform this procedure. 

Recovery 

Breast reduction surgery takes roughly three hours and is performed as an outpatient treatment. The majority of women may return home the same day, but you’ll have a long recovery ahead of you. 

After the procedure, you’ll most likely be fatigued and hurting, so take a few days off school or work. We recommend moving around a little bit to get your blood flowing, but avoid any strenuous activity for a while. 

Pain 

After breast reduction, you will have some pain and discomfort for a couple of weeks. Your surgeon will provide you with prescription pain relievers, which most women use for a few days after surgery. Make sure to prepare a comfortable place to rest to reduce your discomfort as much as possible.

Breastfeeding Capacity 

After breast reduction surgery, some women find it more difficult — but not impossible – to breastfeed. It’s tough to say who will have this result, but it’s a good idea to put off breast reduction surgery until you’re certain you won’t have any more children. 

Reduced Nipple Sensation

Following breast reduction surgery, some women report a reduction in nipple feeling. The feeling returns after one or two months for the majority of women, although a minority experience longer-term issues. 

Cup Dimensions 

It’s difficult to say how much your breasts can shrink. Your reduction depends on your present breast size, composition, and objectives. Your surgeon will inform you of your best alternatives during your surgery consultation. The majority of patients drop one or two sizes.

What should I do to prepare for my breast reduction surgery?

You may be required to do the following before having breast reduction surgery: 

  • Obtain laboratory tests or a medical examination. 
  • Make changes to your medications
  • To assist identify any future changes in your breast tissue, have a baseline mammogram before surgery and another thereafter.
