Breast reduction is an operation that is usually considered a reconstructive procedure and is many times covered by insurance plans. The surgery is performed to make the breasts smaller, as well as lift the breasts to a more youthful position.

You are an ideal candidate if you are troubled by very large, sagging breast, you feel restricted in your activities and/or your breast cause you physical discomfort. It’s important to discuss your expectations with honesty so that the Doctor can give his professional advice. He will examine and measure your breast, describe the procedure in detail, explain the probable results as well as the risks, limitations and scarring that may result. Pictures are used for reference during surgery and afterwards for result comparing. Your surgery itself usually takes two to four hours, but may take longer in some cases. Most of the patients are discharged the same day or the following day. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, you’ll be asleep through the entire operation. The procedure removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, and moves the nipple and areola into their new position. Then the skin is brought from both sides of the breast down and around the areola, shaping the new contour of the breast. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat from the arm-pit area.
