Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is performed for both physical and cosmetic reasons. Sagging breast tissue may be restrictive and painful and reduction can help this situation. The procedure takes two to four hours and is typically done under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. Most patients are discharged within two or three days.
After surgery, special bandages are used to keep the breasts in place and pain medication is usually taken for a few days. Much of the swelling and bruising disappears within the first week, although it may take months for the breasts to fully conform to their new shape.
The benefits of breast reduction are apparent very quickly. Immediate changes in breast size and shape can create a more positive body image. Back or neck pain experienced prior to the surgery can be relieved. The patient may be more comfortable participating in physical activities and simply be more content with everyday life.
As with any medical procedure, there are certain inherent risks which should be discussed with a qualified physician. Costs vary depending upon the extent of the surgery and areas treated.
