Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts. Breast reduction surgery reduces the amount of skin, fat, and tissue in the breast, producing a more proportionate breast, and increasing feelings of self-confidence.

Breasts that are too large and heavy can cause women to have back, shoulder, and neck pain, breathing and circulation problems, and general discomfort. These problems can keep them from pursuing many physical activities and may also increase feelings of embarrassment or self-consciousness. Fortunately, Dr. Jaibaji offers breast reduction treatment at his practice that can decrease the size of overly large breasts.
Breast reduction surgery is performed using an anchor-shaped incision made around the areola, along the natural crease under the breast, and vertically in between. After the incision is made, Dr. Jaibaji removes excess fat, tissue, and skin from the lower breast area. Next, the nipple and areola are moved to a higher and more natural position. The remaining skin is tightened and sutured in its new place, resulting in a more proportionately sized and pleasingly shaped breast. The entire process takes a few hours and can be combined with breast lift surgery for better results.
Breast reduction surgery recovery is a long process but well worth it for those who suffer from intense head, neck, and back pain. Some swelling, bruising, and general pain is normal after breast reduction surgery. Dr. Jaibaji can prescribe pain medication to help alleviate any discomfort. Side effects should disappear a few weeks after surgery, and patients are usually able to return to work around the same time. Following all post-operative instructions given by Dr. Jaibaji can help promote a quicker and more successful recovery. For more information on breast reduction surgery, contact our practice today.
