Breast Reduction Surgery

Are your breasts oversized for your body frame? Do you suffer from chronic back and neck pain, and even emotional stress because of your gigantic breasts? Are you unable to participate in most physical activities such as sports and exercise? A surgery is available to help you. It is called Reduction Mammoplasty, also known as Breast Reduction surgery.

The opposite of breast augmentation surgery that augments your breasts with breast implants, the goal of breast reduction surgery is to reduce a woman's natural breast size permanently. The surgical procedure removes breast fat, skin, and glandular tissue. Additionally, the surgeon may reshape and give each breast a lift, making them look firmer and younger. Perkier breasts are an added benefit most women are happy to accept.

Breast reduction surgery doesn't usually take very much time - from two to three hours. Of course, everyone's exact situation is different and the time it takes depends upon your specific case. Most women go home the day of surgery, but there are some that need to remain in the hospital a day or two.

If you decide to have breast reduction surgery, it is very important for you to have realistic expectations. The surgery will not change your personality; no plastic surgery can change your inner self. However, it can affect your personality when it alleviates chronic suffering due to the pain of an oversized chest. Most patients are very happy with the outcome of their surgery. Not only are their breasts reduced in weight, but they have a more natural size that compliments their figure instead of overwhelming it.

As with any surgery that requires incisions, breast reduction surgery will leave scars. The scars will be more visible on some women than others because every woman is different. For instance, women who smoke tend to heal slower and develop scars that are more noticeable.

There are two side effects of this surgery you should be aware of while considering it. The first is a potential loss of sensation in the breast tissue and the nipples. It doesn't always happen but, if it does, it is usually permanent and irreversible. The second is losing the ability to breastfeed a child. That is because most of the milk ducts leading to the nipples are removed. Again, this doesn't always happen but most women should wait until after they have breastfeed their last child as a precaution.

Not only can breast reduction surgery relieve a woman of chronic pain and suffering, it can boost her self-confidence and self-esteem. She will be able to enjoy a more active life by participating in sports and physical activities.

If you are considering breast reduction surgery, there is one thing you need to do - consult an expert! Call a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast reduction and schedule a consultation. Most surgeons do not charge for the initial appointment, whether it be in person or over the phone. Do your homework first by researching the subject online, and compile a list of questions. The plastic surgeon knows the latest advances in technology and can provide you with a realistic expectation of your surgery results.
