Who is a Candidate For Breast Reduction?
Contending with the weight of heavy breasts can make even the most simple daily tasks difficult to complete. Patients with overly large breasts often face a number of physical burdens that may catalyze the desire for breast reduction, such as:
- Pain or soreness in the back, shoulders, and/or neck
- Grooves in the shoulder from bra straps digging into the skin
- Rashes or skin irritation
- Difficulty exercising and staying active
- Poor posture
- Labored breathing
- Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, or fingers
Women with excessive breasts also commonly experience non-physical symptoms that may be troubling, including an inability to find well-fitting clothing, stares from strangers, and unwanted attention.
If you find it challenging to comfortably live your life due to the above symptoms, breast reduction can be a powerful procedure to help resolve the stressors of large breasts and provide a more proportionate bust size in relation to your body frame.
How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
After an initial consultation with Dr. Chetty-B, in which she confirms that breast reduction is the best treatment option to achieve your goals, the procedure is usually performed as an outpatient breast surgery utilizing general anesthesia.
Dr. Chetty-B will reshape your breasts using an incision placed either in a keyhole shape over the areolas or in an anchor-like fashion along the breast crease. The best technique depends on the extent of reduction necessary to attain your desired look.
Excess skin, breast tissue, and fat will then be removed while the nipples and areolas are raised and repositioned (if necessary). Since sagging breast tissue is addressed during surgery, breast reduction typically includes some of the benefits of a breast lift.
