Common reasons patients with large breasts (macromastia) undergo breast reduction include:<\/p>\n
During breast reduction surgery, breast tissue and skin are removed, contouring the breast into a smaller more aesthetically pleasing shape. Similar to a mastopexy, or breast lift, the nipple is raised and centralized on the breast in the most ideal position. Patients with macromastia, or large breasts, typically have a constellation of symptoms including back pain, neck pain, rashes and shoulder \u201cbra-strap\u201d grooving, which are often significantly improved following this procedure.<\/p>\n
Commonly used techniques impart a \u201csquare\u201d look to the breast. In my opinion, this is not ideal and I have therefore adapted the way I perform breast reduction surgery to create a round, coned shape with a central nipple location. This results in a more natural shape and projection. Nipple sensation is typically unchanged and even improves in some cases.<\/p>\n
An aesthetically pleasing breast reduction involves addressing the breasts themselves as well as the surrounding tissues, a component that is often ignored. A beautiful painting is complemented by the frame, which in this case is the axillary, or armpit, and lateral chest \u201cbra fat.\u201d Your initial consult will include an evaluation of these regions as potential targets for treatment. This attention to detail can significantly enhance a breast surgery result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
