Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery

Excessively large breasts can negatively affect your life in a number of significant ways. Women with copious amounts of breast tissue frequently experience a wide range of complications, including:

Backaches and neck pain associated with the weight of their breasts
Uncomfortable indentations on the shoulders from bra straps
Inability to wear many types of fashionable clothing, including certain styles of dresses, tops, and bathing suits
Hindered ability to engage in certain physical activities comfortably, including many sports and exercises
Skin problems underneath the breasts, including chafing and irritation
Feelings of self-consciousness or embarrassment

Anatomical reasons that women choose to pursue breast reduction surgery include heavy, pendulous breasts or a noticeable difference in size. These problems can also be alleviated with breast reduction surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

As is the case with any plastic surgery procedure, we want to ensure that you are well-informed regarding your options and our services before making a final decision regarding breast reduction. These are some of the most commonly asked questions associated with breast reduction surgery.

Will my insurance cover breast reduction? In many cases, breast reduction is performed specifically to spare the patient pain and physical harm. If it is determined that a breast reduction procedure is medically necessary to offer relief from chronic pain and other health issues, your insurance plan may cover the surgery. Ask Dr. Wiesman about how insurance applies to breast reduction at your consultation.

How long will it take me to recover? Every patient is different, and healing time does vary depending on several factors. Most women, however, return to normal daily activities within one to two weeks following surgery. Heavy lifting and other strenuous activities should typically be avoided for up to four weeks.

Will I have scars after breast reduction? Any surgical procedure will result in some amount of scarring; however, Dr. Wiesman specializes in vertical breast reduction, a technique that minimizes the formation of scar tissue and healing time. Any visible scars are generally located in areas that are easily covered by a bra or swimsuit.
