Breast Reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin resulting in a breast size more in proportion with your body. Breast reductions relieve patients of many physical issues including upper back, neck and shoulder pain, rashes between the breasts, and deep shoulder grooves caused by excess weight on bra straps.

• Women whose breasts are so large they limit physical activity.
• Women who are bothered and self conscious that there breasts are too large.
• Women who’s lifestyle and personal preference would like more smaller breasts.
• Dr. Lee requires patient’s BMI (body mass index)be at 33 or below for this procedure.

How is Breast Reduction Surgery performed?

The breast reduction technique involves the removal of excess fat, glandular tissue and skin. There is an incision made around the areolar and the nipple which remains tethered to the original blood and nerve supply is repositioned. The areolar is usually also reduced. The underlying tissue is reduced, lifted and shaped.
Sutures are laid deep within the breast tissue to aid with supporting the new shaped breasts. There will be scars at the incision areas but these typically fade with time.

What is the Recovery time for Breast Reduction surgery?

You will go home the same day and then come back for a two day and then a one week post op appointment. Healing and follow up will continue, Dr. Lee will guide you through the recovery process at your post op appointments. There will be at least 7-10 days of very low activity.
