Breast Reduction

Introduction

Welcome to Foley James D MD, your trusted healthcare provider specializing in breast reduction procedures. As a leading expert in the field of plastic surgery, Dr. James Foley and his experienced team are committed to providing safe and effective solutions for patients seeking to reduce the size and improve the contour of their breasts.

Understanding Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportionate and balanced breast size. This procedure can address both physical and emotional concerns associated with overly large breasts, such as discomfort, pain, self-consciousness, and limitations in physical activities.

The Benefits of Breast Reduction

Undergoing a breast reduction procedure can have a profound positive impact on your life. Here are some key benefits:

• Relief from Physical Discomfort: Large breasts can lead to chronic shoulder, neck, and back pain. By reducing their size, breast reduction can alleviate these physical discomforts, improving your overall quality of life.
• Enhanced Body Proportion: Breast reduction can help create a more balanced and proportionate figure, enhancing your body contours and boosting your self-confidence.
• Improved Posture: Heavy breasts can cause poor posture and spinal misalignment. By reducing their size, breast reduction can improve posture and promote a healthier spinal alignment.
• Easier Physical Activities: Overly large breasts can limit your ability to engage in certain physical activities or wear certain types of clothing comfortably. Breast reduction can make it easier to participate in sports, exercise, and enjoy a more active lifestyle.

The Breast Reduction Procedure

Our breast reduction procedure is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. During your consultation with Dr. Foley, he will discuss the details of the procedure, including:

• Incision Options: There are different incision options available for breast reduction, including the traditional anchor-shaped incision, vertical incision technique, and the newer short scar technique. Dr. Foley will help determine the most suitable option based on your individual circumstances.
• Tissue and Fat Removal: Excess breast tissue and fat will be carefully removed to achieve the desired breast size and shape. The remaining breast tissue will be reshaped and repositioned to create a more youthful contour.
• Skin Tightening: If necessary, excess skin will be removed and the remaining skin will be tightened to ensure a smooth and natural appearance.
• Nipple and Areola Repositioning: In some cases, the position and size of the nipple-areola complex may need to be adjusted to complement the new breast shape.

Recovery and Results

After the breast reduction procedure, you will be provided with detailed post-operative instructions to support your recovery process. It's important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing. Some key points to consider:

• Recovery Timeline: Recovery time can vary for each individual, but most patients can expect to return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for a few weeks.
• Final Results: It may take several months for your breasts to settle into their new shape and for any post-surgical swelling to fully subside. However, you will notice an immediate improvement in the size and contours of your breasts.
• Long-Term Satisfaction: Breast reduction procedures have a high satisfaction rate among patients. You will experience long-lasting results, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
