Breast Reduction

Women with very large pendulous breasts tend to have neck and shoulder pain. Breast reduction effectively reduces the breast size and weight, helping the patient enjoy a more active and comfortable lifestyle. It also helps to relieve some of the symptoms related to the size of the breasts.

Procedure:
Incisions are made following the natural contour under the breast and around the areola and then fatty tissue in the breasts with some of the glandular tissue and excess skin area are removed, then the breasts can be pulled tighter making them smaller, lifted and firmer. This is generally performed under general anesthesia.

Recovery:
After surgery the patient is wrapped in an elastic bandage, depending on the size of the reduction, it is often performed as an outpatient. The patient may have a drain placed for a few days to allow excess fluid to drain from the incision. Recovery is expected within two weeks. There will be postoperative pain that is easily controlled with medication.

This is enlargement of the male breasts, which may affect one or both breasts. For men who feel self conscious about their oversized breasts this procedure can help restore their self confidence and appearance.

Procedure:
Gynecomastia is corrected by removing excess breast tissue through a small incision or by liposuction. Your doctor will discuss your candidacy for the choice of the procedure depending on the size of your breasts.

Recovery:
The procedure is often performed as an outpatient. A compression garment is used postoperatively to minimize swelling. There will be minimal postoperative pain that is easily controlled with medication.
