Patient Case #6336

Procedure Details

Breast reduction surgery aims to reduce the size and weight of the breasts, alleviate discomfort and pain associated with large breasts, and improve the overall appearance of the breasts.

Patients seeking breast reduction may have chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, bra strap indentations, skin irritation, and difficulty finding clothing that fits properly. Patients may also feel self-conscious about their breast size and shape.

In addition to reducing breast size and weight, during breast reduction surgery the breasts will be lifted and reshaped for a more youthful and proportionate appearance. The patient may also experience relief from physical symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as improved posture and mobility.

The incision scars from breast reduction surgery will fade over time, although they will never completely disappear. Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks after surgery and to wear a supportive bra during the healing process.

Overall, breast reduction surgery can provide significant physical and emotional benefits for patients who are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts. It can improve quality of life, reduce discomfort, and enhance self confidence.
