Breast Reduction

Over time, many factors including; the birth of a baby, nursing your baby, rapid weight gain or loss and the normal process of aging will all contribute to the breasts losing their shape, firmness, and positioning. A breast lift (also known as Mastopexy) helps to restore a woman’s youthful appearance by removing loose skin from around the areola, reshaping the breast tissue and re-positioning the nipple and areola to a higher point on the breast. This results in firmer, more youthful looking breasts that sit on the chest wall in a natural way and fit the proportions of the rest of her body. A breast reduction goes even further than a breast lift, in addition to removing excess skin, it removes excess glandular tissue and fat, making a breast reduction an excellent option for women whose large breasts cause them physical distress. Physical symptoms caused by excessively large breasts include, but are not limited to, persistent back, neck and shoulder pain, skin irritation at the base of the breast, and limiting participation in activities they once enjoyed. After undergoing a breast reduction, both physical and emotional discomfort associated with their large breasts are greatly alleviated. All breast reductions and lifts are individually tailored to the patient's needs and anatomical characteristics, and may utilize several different incision patterns to help reduce the visibility of the resulting scars. Many patients have reported that in addition to feeling much better physically, they feel a tremendous increase in self-confidence and self-image following their surgical procedure, which makes it one of the most transformative surgeries available.
