Breast reduction surgically reduces and reshapes the size of breasts. The physical strain and self-consciousness resulting from a large breast size can create very real pain or discomfort, and potentially impede your sense of well-being. If the size of your breasts has been causing any of these feelings, breast reduction can be the answer to help you achieve a comfortable and healthy lifestyle.
Benefits of Breast Reduction
- Relieve the physical discomfort associated with oversized breasts
- Improve the balance of your figure
- Refresh and reinvigorate your appearance
- Enhance your self-image and self confidence
Planning Your Procedure
No two patients have the same goals or bodies, so each consultation with Dr. Chacon includes a detailed physical assessment and a thorough, personal discussion of your expectations and motivations.
The most popular approach, the short-scar breast reduction, can accurately reshape a wide range of breast sizes with a maximum of surgical accuracy, while limiting the associated scarring.
Approaches to Breast Reduction
- Incision type: This decision largely depends on the current size and shape of your breasts, as well as the extent of reduction you desire. We will help you choose an approach that offers the best results for your physique.
- Combination approaches: Often, a greater amount of breast tissue will cause large breasts to sag sooner and more severely, especially after weight fluctuations. If these characteristics are present, a breast reduction with a breast lift is often recommended.
Breast Reduction Surgery and Results
Before your procedure, Dr. Chacon will answer all of your questions and make sure you thoroughly understand your procedure and recovery. Safety, privacy, comfort, and excellence in treatment are our top priorities to you as our patient.
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will be completely asleep and feel nothing during surgery. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, but some patients prefer an overnight stay. Most of Dr. Chacon’s breast reduction patients are back to their normal activities within a week, although for more extensive procedures your body may require more time to adjust.
