What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure performed to reduce a patient’s breast size. It usually involves removing excess breast fat, tissue, and skin to achieve a more suitable breast profile.

A breast reduction can offer many physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • Reducing chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain caused by breast weight
  • Eliminating bra strap grooves in your shoulders
  • Improving your posture
  • Improving your comfort while exercising
  • Allowing you to lay on your stomach more comfortably
  • Potentially lessening the unwanted attention you receive
  • Improving your self-image
  • Giving you more bra and clothing options

Once you gain the ability to exercise comfortably, you may find it easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Since a breast reduction often reduces pain, corrects poor posture, and increases your mobility, your quality of life can dramatically improve after the procedure. Breast reduction surgery from Dr. Castor can also help you feel more self-confident and more comfortable in your own skin.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Breast Reduction Surgery?

The medical term for excessively large breasts is macromastia. Breast reduction surgery is often a beneficial procedure for women with this condition. If you don’t suffer from the physical symptoms of macromastia but wish to reduce the size of your breasts solely for aesthetic reasons, you may also be a great candidate.

Meeting with Dr. Castor in person is the best way to determine if a breast reduction is right for you. This procedure may be ideal if:

  • You are physically healthy
  • You feel like your breasts are too large
  • Your breasts limit your physical activity
  • Your breasts cause you pain
  • You experience skin irritation beneath your breast crease
  • You don’t smoke or are willing to quit temporarily

How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?

Dr. Castor will perform your breast reduction at our state-of-the-art accredited surgical suite. This space offers you convenience, safety, and comfort.

Like most surgical procedures, breast reduction is carried out while you are under anesthesia. Dr. Castor will make the incision that is appropriate for your situation, which may include around the areola, around the areola and vertically down, or in an anchor shape. Then he will reduce the size of your breasts — while potentially reducing the size of your areolas and repositioning your nipples — before closing the incisions.

What is the Recovery Process Like?

Your recovery is an important part of the procedure. Dr. Castor will explain what you can expect from breast reduction recovery during your consultation. You will leave with dressings or bandages around your chest, as well as wear a special type of support bra to reduce swelling.

Be prepared to take a little time away from your regular routine, including work, volunteering, and workouts. However, most patients are back to work in one to two weeks. Dr. Castor will provide specific aftercare instructions to follow during your recovery and let you know when you can resume various activities.
