What is breast reduction?
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty), is a procedure in which the size of the breasts is reduced by removing excess tissue and skin.
Dr. Sayeg will remove excess tissue and skin, creating a smaller, firmer breast. He will then raise the nipple and areola higher on the breast to accommodate the new proportions and to create a smaller, natural looking breast. Dr. Sayeg uses a short scar technique (the SPAIR technique), which reduces the amount of scarring and greatly improves the aesthetics of the breasts.
Am I a good candidate for breast reduction?
Breast reduction surgery is a frequent choice for women who are uncomfortable with their large breasts and suffer from problems such as skin rashes and excess sweating under the breasts. You may have difficulty finding clothing that fits properly or have shoulder pain from excess pressure of your bra straps.
In cases in which the breasts are so large that they cause medical problems, such as neck, shoulder and back pain, breast reduction is frequently covered by health insurance plans. Dr. Sayeg will help in determining whether your procedure is likely to be covered.
How long is recovery from breast reduction?
You will need to take at least one week off from work or school for breast reduction surgery. Dr. Sayeg will instruct you on follow-up appointments for removing bandages and stitches.
While you recover, you’ll need to stop physical activity for at least one month after surgery. You should also avoid any heavy lifting during your recovery period.
After breast reduction surgery, you should expect to feel tired and to have breast pain. Dr. Sayeg will give you an oral painkiller to ease you through the first few days after surgery.
