For some women considering breast reduction, having disproportionately large breasts can be both physically and emotionally painful. At Park Avenue Plastic Surgery & Spa, we offer expert surgical care as a solution. Dr. Brian P. Joseph performs breast reduction in Winter Park and Orlando, FL, to help patients achieve a more balanced physique.
Overdeveloped, pendulous breasts can cause a variety of medical problems, from severe neck and back pain, skin irritation, skeletal irregularities, to difficulty with breathing. They can also make wearing a bra extremely uncomfortable to the point of being excruciatingly painful, and many women with very large breasts, particularly younger women, become embarrassed and self-conscious about their bodies.
What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery can be performed either as a single procedure or as part of a more comprehensive body contouring plan. Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure in which excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed from the breasts, thereby reducing both their size and weight, and improving their firmness.
The primary goal of the procedure is to reshape the breasts so they look natural and perfectly complement the patient’s figure. Many women have undergone breast reduction surgery not only to alleviate their pain but also to help them feel more confident, attractive, and healthy.
Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery
Women often seek this surgery to alleviate chronic pain and improve their daily quality of life. The benefits of breast reduction in Orlando extend far beyond a change in appearance. By removing excess weight, patients often experience:
- Alleviation of chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Correction of poor posture caused by heavy breasts
- Relief from skin irritation or rashes underneath the breast crease
- Improved ability to exercise and participate in physical activities
- Better fitting clothing and increased self-confidence
Candidates For Breast Reduction Surgery
If you have disproportionately large breasts that feel heavy, suffer from back, neck, or shoulder pain, always have marks or grooves in your shoulders left by your bra straps, and have altered your lifestyle due to the size of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. Breast reduction surgery is not a simple procedure, but it is safe and relatively painless when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon.
Of all plastic surgery procedures, breast reduction surgery results in the quickest body-image changes. Patients appreciate breast reduction because of the incredible lifestyle changes that occur as a result of the surgery. You will be rid of the physical discomfort of large breasts, your body will look better proportioned, and clothes will fit you better.
Your Breast Reduction Surgery
Your experience begins with a private consultation with Dr. Joseph. During this visit, he reviews your medical history, examines your anatomy, and discusses your aesthetic goals. We encourage you to ask questions to feel entirely comfortable with the plan.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited facility. Dr. Joseph uses precise techniques to remove tissue and reshape the remaining breast mound. In many cases, the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful height. If you are interested in other enhancements, ask us about breast augmentation or breast revision during your visit.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Recovery from breast reduction surgery in Winter Park varies by patient, but most individuals return to non-strenuous work within one to two weeks. You will likely wear a surgical bra or compression garment to support the new contours as you heal.
Swelling and bruising are normal and will subside over time. Dr. Joseph provides detailed post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery. It is important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks to protect your incisions and allow internal tissues to heal properly.
Cost of Breast Reduction
The total cost of breast reduction surgery varies based on the complexity of the surgery, surgical fees, and facility costs. During your consultation, we provide a detailed quote tailored to your surgical plan.
