What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction (also known as reduction mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of overly large breasts. Many patients struggle with back, neck, and shoulder pain as well as irritation due to their breast size. With breast reduction surgery, Dr. Rivela will remove excess skin and breast tissue and reshape the breasts for a smaller, more proportionate, and symmetrical appearance to the breasts.
How long the procedure takes will depend on the results you’re looking for and your unique needs, but on average, the surgery lasts about 3 to 4 hours. At Rivela Plastic Surgery, we administer general anesthesia, so you’ll be completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
A breast surgery can also be combined with a breast lift to address sagging breasts and achieve a full breast rejuvenation.
Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?
If you are struggling with overly large breasts, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, indentations from bra straps, and/or skin irritation, you are likely a perfect candidate for a breast reduction. That said, at Rivela Plastic Surgery, we stick to certain criteria to ensure this is the right procedure for your needs.
Ideal Candidates for Breast Reduction in Huntsville Are:
- In generally good health
- Have realistic expectations of treatment
- Have no medical condition that could affect the healing process
- Nonsmokers
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- At a stable body weight
Breast Reduction Benefits
Breast reduction in Huntsville comes with several different benefits, including:
- Boost in confidence: Most patients notice a significant boost in their confidence after breast reduction surgery. With smaller breasts, you will have better posture and feel more at home in your body.
- Less pain and irritation: Without the weight of your breasts, there won’t be so much strain on your back, shoulders, and neck. There will also be less irritation from the breast skin rubbing against the skin of your abdomen.
- Long-lasting results: The results of your breast reduction are considered permanent. That said, factors like aging, weight fluctuations, gravity, and hormones can affect the size and shape of your breasts over time.
- More clothing options: Larger breasts can often make it difficult to find clothes that fit properly. That will no longer be the case with your new proportional breasts. There will be a whole new world of clothes you’ll be able to explore.
