Abnormally large breasts can create social, functional, and physical setbacks for women. Overly large and unbalanced breasts can create self-image issues, overall embarrassment, and back/neck pain. Dr. Lindsey Tavakolian enjoys helping women regain their confidence and feel more comfortable through cosmetic breast reduction. This aesthetic and functional surgery removes excess fat, breast tissue, and skin to recontour the breasts to an aesthetically pleasing position and size. This surgery also reduces the size of the nipples/areolas and repositions them for a more youthful appearance.
Drawbacks to breast reduction surgery include visible scars on the breast, potential for a change in ability to breastfeed, and numbness to the nipple. Patients have to weigh these risks against the benefits of the surgery. Therefore, the decision to undergo this surgery is a personal one.
Each woman’s breasts have unique characteristics. Women’s breasts are never the same on both sides, and no two women have breasts that are exactly the same. These differences and asymmetries will always exist to some degree after surgery. Breast reduction surgery offers improvement, not perfection. Our goal is to enhance your life through a life changing improvement.
How Does a Breast Reduction Work?
Dr. Lindsey performs breast reduction surgery under general anesthesia. The entire procedure can take anywhere from two to three hours. During surgery, Dr. Lindsey makes an incision around the areola and downward on the breast. If the breasts are very large, an additional horizontal incision in the fold may be necessary. Dr. Lindsey then removes excess skin, fat, and breast tissue before lifting the nipple to a higher position. In some cases, she may use liposuction techniques to remove fat from the underarm area. The incisions are then closed with sutures and recovery can begin.
To ensure optimal results, Dr. Lindsey will provide a bra to wear in the weeks after breast reduction surgery. The Southlake Plastic Surgery Center staff provide thorough post-operative instructions and support to help facilitate a quick and safe healing process. Many patients are able to return to work in one week, but more strenuous activities—such as exercises—should be avoided for several weeks.
The results of breast reduction surgery are evident immediately, but the final results will take several months to achieve. Women who undergo this procedure often experience a boost in self-confidence. Among the many benefits of breast reduction are increased clothing options; alleviation of back, neck, and shoulder pain; and a more proportionate, attractive figure.
Dr. Lindsey and the staff at the Southlake Plastic Surgery Center in Southlake, Texas will provide you with detailed written and verbal instructions on aftercare, and they will be available to address any questions or concerns that you may have.
