Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction

Big breasts are a common source of back and shoulder pain, as well as other minor problems, like having a hard time finding clothes that fit properly. Big breasts can have significant impact on a woman’s body-confidence and ease of movement. This surgery strives to give women a breast size that is more proportionate to the rest of their body.

The Procedure

Expect the procedure to take anywhere between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the breasts. Swelling, soreness, and mild pain are expected after effects of the operation. Most patients return to usual light, daily activities after 1 week, and resume the full spectrum of their physical activities by 6 weeks.
