Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world, and its numbers increase every year. So, why would any woman opt to have a breast reduction?
Overly large breasts can be painful physically, but also mentally. Beyond the physical discomfort, overly large breasts can make a woman so self-conscious about her figure that she shuns social interaction.
What Is Breast Reduction Surgery (Mammoplasty)?
Breast reduction surgery is formally known as reduction mammoplasty. The surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to reduce the overall size of the breasts and to bring them up to a higher profile. For women with hypermastia, the clinical name for overly large breasts, reduction surgery is the only option to improve their day-to-day lives.
Breast Reduction Procedure
The incisions involved in breast reduction mirror those in a breast lift, since the goals of the two procedures are very similar. The incision is an anchor style and uniformly follows a distinct shape and predictably good healing. Dr. Ferraro uses scar creams to enhance good healing. Also, like a breast lift, the nipples and areolae usually are repositioned to a higher location. If desired, the areolae can also be decreased in size.
Breast Reduction Recovery
After surgery, patients will need to wear a support bra to reduce swelling and aid healing. The goal is to keep the stress on the incisions to a minimum. Most patients can return to work in one week, but any strenuous exercise or lifting needs to be curtailed for a month and a half. Dr. Ferraro will discuss all the risks and benefits of the procedure at the time of your consultation.
What Our Patients Have To Say
Dr. Ferraro was amazing! From the start of my process it was all about what I wanted and what I wanted to look like. I received a breast reduction and lift in October 2020 and I am healing so well with little no issues at all. My breast look amazing and I would recommend Dr. Ferraro to my closest friends and family.
I am a 38 year old mother of 2. I went to Dr Ferraro after I had begun going to neurologist for neck and head pain. At that point I thought it best for me to consider a breast reduction. When I went to Dr Ferraros office I was 34 DDD. After a few appointments and his amazing staff authorizing my insurance I was able to get my surgical procedure done. I am currently 3 weeks post op. A 34 C/D and I cannot express the gratitude that I have for not only resolving my neck and back issues but other areas of my life that I now know to keep a closer eye on. I can move around freely, comfortably and I’m not even 100% healed. I’m looking forward to being able to begin my regular routine of my daily life so much more now without the concern that I’m going to be in pain throughout the course of the day. This has been a life altering experience and so happy I chose to do it with Dr Ferraro.
