What to Know About Breast Reduction Surgery

breast reduction surgery

Breast reduction surgery can lead to an improved appearance, increased self-esteem and alleviation of discomfort. This type of surgery is becoming a popular option for women in New Orleans who realize that discomfort is not something that they have to live with. Although issues like back and shoulder discomfort are common reasons for women to opt for breast reduction surgery, many are realizing that an altered and improved body shape and contour are also great reasons.

What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Back pain, discomfort and dissatisfaction with body shape are just a few of the reasons that women opt for a breast reduction. Breast reduction surgery, also called a reduction mammoplasty, involves reducing the mass of the breasts in order to decrease breast weight and create a more streamlined shape. This alleviates some of the problems that women have before they get their breast reduction surgery.

There are various techniques to perform breast reduction surgery, and our surgeon will discuss with you what your best option is based on your specific case. Breast reduction surgery is typically performed by removing glandular tissue and breast fat. This procedure often involves liposuction in order to remove fat from the breasts and also frequently involves excision of excess skin.

Good Candidates for Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery is a great option for women who have large breasts and experience some level of impairment or discomfort due to their breast size. Common issues that women who opt for breast reduction surgery experience include back and shoulder discomfort, dissatisfaction with body or breast shape and contour, exhaustion and more. Large breasts can even impact things like clothing options and the ability to engage in activities like exercise.

Undergoing breast reduction surgery can significantly improve a woman’s life. It is still a big decision, however. Here at Metairie Plastic Surgeons in Metairie, we understand that surgery of any kind is a big decision, so contact our office today to schedule an appointment, and we can answer any questions you may have!
