Breast Reduction: Your question is too vague. Breast reduction surgery removes excess skin and breast tissue from select areas of the breast so as to permit reconstruction of a smaller breast to relieve symptoms attributable to excess size. The goal is to do so in an aesthetically acceptable manner preserving nipple sensation and ability to nurse. Risks are loss of sensation, inability to nurse, poor cosmesis.

Breast Reductions: In a breast reduction procedure, I resculpt the breasts to make them lighter, firmer, and more proportionate with the rest of your body. This is achieved through the removal of excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue. The technique that is selected will depend upon the amount of reduction you desire and the characteristics of your breasts: their size, shape, laxity, and skin thickness.

Surgery: Breast reduction is surgery, and like any surgery there are risks and rewards. Patients should expect to take 1 to 2 weeks off work. Exercise can usually resume after 4 weeks, but you will be given specific post-op instructions following your surgery. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and specific goals.
