◎ Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure performed for women with large, pendulous breasts. Most commonly patients complain of back and neck pain, skin irritation under the breasts, and bra strap grooving on the shoulders. There are also patients who are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their breasts. Large breasts make the body disproportionate and can cause problems with daily activities such as exercise, work, social interaction, or clothes selection.
Basic Information
| Features | The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue and skin from the breasts making them smaller, lighter, firmer, and perkier. Breast reductions are done on an outpatient basis in the hospital under general anesthesia. Very large reductions may require a one-night stay in the hospital. The procedure usually takes three to four hours depending on the extent of surgery needed. Patients are up and able to move the day after surgery. The tenderness in the breast area lasts for a couple of weeks. Most patients will return to work and social activities in about one to two weeks. Full exercise is usually allowed after four weeks. |
