Breast Reduction

Reshape your breast to your liking

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure offered by Smart Plastic Surgery that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts to reduce their size and improve shape. This procedure is ideal for women who suffer from physical and emotional discomfort due to large and heavy breasts.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery is a popular procedure for those seeking relief from the physical and emotional discomfort caused by overly large breasts. This surgery is less invasive than many other surgical procedures and involves carefully planned incisions to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin.

In addition to reducing the size and weight of your breasts, breast reduction surgery can significantly improve your overall body contour. By alleviating the strain on your back, neck, and shoulders, the procedure can enhance your posture and lead to a more balanced and proportionate appearance.

Considerations

Individuals considering breast reduction surgery to alleviate discomfort or achieve a more proportionate figure may encounter the following challenges:
  • Difficulty in reducing breast size through dieting and exercise alone.
  • Excessive sagging or drooping of the breasts, especially after weight loss.
  • Discomfort or pain due to the size and weight of the breasts.
  • A lack of proportionate shape or symmetry in the breasts.
  • Physical limitations or discomfort caused by overly large breasts.
Can you take the time off work and other responsibilities?
You will need to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks following your breast reduction surgery. In addition, recovery times can vary, typically ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. If your job involves physical labor, lifting, or prolonged standing, you may need to modify your duties or take time off during your recovery period.

Ideal Candidates

Women who can benefit from breast reduction generally have the following characteristics:
  • Suffer from physical discomfort, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain.
  • Have posture problems due to the weight of their breasts.
  • Find it difficult to engage in physical activities.
  • Experience emotional or social discomfort due to the size of their breast
  • Are in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.

General Procedure

Breast reduction surgery typically lasts between two to four hours, depending on the extent of tissue removal and the patient’s specific anatomy. The procedure begins with the surgeon making carefully planned incisions, often around the areola and down to the breast crease, to access and remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. This helps to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while reshaping them for a more proportional appearance.

The tissue removal is performed with precision, ensuring that the breast retains a natural shape and contour. Once the excess tissue is removed, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple and areola may be repositioned to achieve a more youthful and elevated appearance. The incisions are then closed, and the results are tailored to meet your desired outcome and body proportions.

Outcomes and Results

The results of breast reduction include smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. Most patients notice a significant reduction in physical discomfort and an improvement in quality of life.

Recovery

Recovery Process

Recovery after breast reduction is crucial to ensure the best results. Here are some post-operative care tips:
  • First week: Wear a surgical bra to support the breasts and reduce swelling. Avoid intense physical activities.
  • First month: Gradually resume light activities. Avoid heavy lifting and follow the instructions of your surgeon at Smart Plastic Surgery.
  • Long-term: Continue with regular check-ups to monitor recovery and ensure the results are long-lasting. Follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain the appearance of your breasts.
Patients may experience some minor pain and discomfort following breast reduction surgery. As the body heals, it’s common to have swelling and soreness. Pain medication can be prescribed to help manage any discomfort during the recovery process.

You may be able to return to normal activities within six to eight weeks, depending on your individual healing process. However, it may take up to three months for the swelling to fully subside and for you to see the final results of the surgery.
