What are some things i should know about before getting a breast reduction?

Breast reduction : A breast reduction typically lifts and reduces the size of the breasts. Often it is done because of physical symptoms such as back pain due to the weight of the breasts. While thre will be scar from the procedure, most patients are extremely satisifed and happy they had it done.

Ask your doctor: You shoul understand the qualifications of your surgeon. The american society of plastic surgeons has a multi -page medical consent information form that you should read.

Alot of Info...: There is much to learn about before proceeding with breast reduction surgery. You should select your plastic surgeon carefully and through the consultation process will learn about the pros/cons of the procedure. Learning about potential risk/complications will also be part of the consultation process. Educate yourself about postoperative recovery and returning to activities/work. Best wishes.

You need to consult with a competent board-certified surgeon who will explain to you the breast reduction process, its benefits, as well as the possible risks that the procedure will entail. Some of these are partial loss of sensation in the nipples and the areolas, minor scarring, and temporary bruising.
