The primary goal of breast reduction is to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. We sees this as a chance to do more and approach this surgery with your body shape in mind. The youthful perkiness can be restored by lifting the breast. The nipple position is usually brought upwards to a more aesthetically pleasing position.
If desired, the size of the areola can be reduced. All of these factors can have a profound impact on your self-esteem. Many who undergo surgery report feeling a dramatic change immediately after surgery. Posture can improve. Back, neck, or shoulder pain may be relieved. A boost in self-confidence from better harmony between breast and body is probable.
If any of the above describe symptoms you are having from large breasts, you may be a candidate for a Virginia Beach breast reduction surgery.
Determining the right time in your life for breast reduction hinges on many considerations that we will review with you carefully. Your weight should be stable to ensure that your breast shape does not change after surgery. Gaining or losing a large amount of weight can impact your results. Child-bearing should also be considered if you plan to breastfeed since breast reductions can affect the amount of breast milk produced.
It is common for young women to seek a breast reduction. Although there is no specific age cut-off, a number of factors must be considered. Before surgery, weight and breast size should be stable for at least one year. Growth should be completed as well. Teenagers and their parents need to be aware of the potential effects of surgery on future lactation. There are rare exceptions to the above where there is an uncontrolled growth of the breasts from an early age (known as benign virginal hypertrophy).
Our surgeons have experience in the operating room with different breast reduction techniques and decide which to use based on your anatomy and goals.
If your large breasts cause any of the above describe symptoms, you may be a candidate for a Virginia Beach breast reduction.
In healthy individuals, breast reduction surgery has a good safety track record. We take care to provide you with quality, compassionate care and perform surgery only in a fully accredited operating room at a surgery center or a hospital. Taking 3-4 hours, you are asleep (general anesthesia) while we perform the surgery. After surgery, you will stay briefly in the recovery room. A friend or family member will then need to accompany you home.
It is common to experience some soreness after surgery. Walking and light household activities are permitted immediately after surgery based on how you feel.
Your doctor will generally recommend taking seven days off from work or school to recover. Light exercise may resume two weeks after surgery with progressively increasing effort. As with any surgery, swelling and bruising are standard and an expected part of recovery. Most of the swelling subsides within the first few weeks; however, you must wait several months before seeing the final result of your breast reduction. The scars will continue to improve and fade over a year.
