Seven Facts About Getting A Breast Reduction

Mar 18, 2020 | Breast

Having large or heavy breasts causes serious health risks for women each year. If you are suffering from neck or back pain because of your size, you may want to consider the idea of breast reduction surgery. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jaime Schwartz has developed advanced techniques to reshape the breasts, making them smaller and more manageable.

You may wonder if you are a candidate for breast reduction surgery. At our clinic in Beverly Hills, CA, we offer in-person breast consultations so patients can get the answers they need to their questions and concerns. Dr. Schwartz can perform an assessment, discuss your goals, and go over your options. Learn the facts by scheduling your appointment today.

1. CANDIDATES OFTEN HAVE LARGE BREAST PROBLEMS THAT WON’T GO AWAY

There are several signs you may need a breast reduction. Overly large breasts are often linked to physical problems such as neck and back pain, shortness of breath, and skin rashes just under the bustline. They also make it difficult to exercise or perform daily chores. Women who experience discomfort or emotional distress as a result of their breasts can get help from a trusted physician. When you arrive for your consultation, Dr. Schwartz will ask questions about the problems you face as a result of breast size. We will then create a personalized plan for your breast reduction surgery.

2. BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY IS NOT THE SAME AS A BREAST LIFT

People often confuse reduction surgery with a breast lift, but they aren’t the same. Breast reduction removes excess fat and tissue to reduce the overall size of the breast. A lift, on the other hand, removes excess skin to raise sagging breasts. At our facility, patients often choose breast reduction and lift surgery at the same time for the best results. Based on your specific needs and goals, Dr. Schwartz can inform you about his specialized plan using the LipoLift® technique. With LipoLift, patients can heal much faster than with traditional surgery.

3. BREAST SIZE IS NOT MEASURED IN CUPS

Contrary to popular belief, breast size is not always measured in cup size. This is because there are no standards for size in the bra industry, with cup sizes varying from one manufacturer to another. Instead, it is important to have a thorough conversation with Dr. Schwartz so you are both on the same page about your desired appearance. We will be able to explain how much tissue we believe should be removed to achieve this goal.

4. YOU WILL NEED TO PREPARE FOR RECOVERY

After reduction surgery, it’s common for patients to feel some discomfort and soreness, which can be relieved with a compression garment or pain medications. Dr. Schwartz or a member of his team will provide specific instructions for proper recovery at home. It is important to follow these directions as given to prevent any complications from surgery.

5. LARGE BREAST PROBLEMS WILL NO LONGER LIMIT YOUR LIFE

As if running or working out wasn’t challenging enough, large breasts can make physical activities even more difficult. They can also be detrimental to your performance. After reduction surgery, you may be excited to jump back into exercise, but we encourage you not to push yourself too hard or too soon. Dr. Schwartz will let you know when it is appropriate to begin certain activities during a follow-up appointment. After recovery, you will no longer be limited by large or heavy breasts!

6. FINAL RESULTS WILL TAKE TIME

Once breast reduction and lift surgery have been completed, it may take some time for the breasts to settle into their new positions. This means that the size and appearance of the breasts may change as you recover. Once the swelling has gone done and the incisions have healed, patients will begin to notice their final results. If you have any concerns about your breast appearance during recovery, we encourage you to contact our office in Beverly Hills, CA. Dr. Schwartz can help monitor and gauge your progress along the way.

7. MOST WOMEN ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR BREAST REDUCTION AND LIFT

There are many scientific studies showing how breast reduction surgery has made women happier and healthier, enjoying a higher quality of life. At our office, we specialize in surgical procedures for the breast and body, including augmentation, lift surgery, breast revisions, and more. When large breast problems get in the way of your physical or emotional well-being, reach out to our plastic surgery team.
