From the areola, the incision goes down and then uner the natural curve under the breast. Dr. Shaw will then remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin and create a pedicle maintaining blood supply and sensation to the nipple/areola. Next, the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher position and the breast tissue is re-approximated. The best procedure can be determined during the initial consultation with Dr. Shaw where you will discuss your goals and expectations.
Of all plastic surgery procedures, breast reduction results in the quickest body-image changes. Patients are pleased with the elimination of physical pain caused by large breasts as well as a better proportioned body, an enhanced appearance, and better fitting clothes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”heading-T bdHeading”]After Care & Recovery[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
- After any type of breast reduction procedure, patients will likely experience mild soreness and swelling for a few days.
- The nipple areola will have a non-adherent gauze placed on them that will be removed in 2 days. Surgical drains may be used in this procedure especially in cases of extensive breast tissue removal.
- The breasts will be supported in a soft surgical bra for about three weeks or until healed. A sports bra can be substituted, but underwire bras are discouraged until the breast is completely healed which is commonly 6 weeks.
- Any stitches will be removed within 7-10 days.
- Most patients will be able to return to work within a week, although exercise and other strenuous activity should be avoided for about a month. Dr. Shaw will provide you with specific instructions for your individual recovery.
Patients sometimes report minor discomfort associated with breast reduction surgery. Any pain can be treated with oral medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize potential problems by carefully following the instructions given after surgery.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”aug-section”][vc_row el_class=”custom-container”][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTVCc2MlMjBuYW1lJTNEJTIyU2NoZWR1bGUlMjIlNUQ=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”aug-section”][vc_row el_class=”custom-container”][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTVCc2xpZGUtYW55dGhpbmclMjBpZCUzRCUyNzI0MSUyNyU1RA==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
