Breast Reduction in Orlando

What is a Breast Reduction?


Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size of overly large breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. This surgery aims to alleviate physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, improve posture, and enhance the overall proportion and appearance of the breasts. Beyond physical relief, many individuals experience a boost in self-confidence and an increased ability to engage in physical activities post-procedure.

What Should I Expect?

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your medical history,
aesthetic goals, and any concerns. During the surgery, which typically lasts 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia, incisions are made around the areola and may extend vertically down the breast. Through these incisions, excess tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to achieve a natural look. The specific technique and incision patterns are tailored to your individual anatomy and desired outcome.

Recovery and Results

After surgery, it’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be
managed with prescribed pain medication and proper care. Wearing a supportive bra
continuously for several weeks aids in healing and helps maintain the new breast shape. Most patients can return to non-strenuous work and activities within 1 to 2 weeks, but should avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Over time, incision lines will fade, and the final breast shape and size will become more apparent, typically within a few months. The results are long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Breast Reduction FAQs

Ideal candidates are individuals in good health who experience physical discomfort, skin irritation, or self-consciousness due to large breasts. A consultation with our surgical team can help determine if this procedure aligns with your needs.

While incisions are necessary, they are strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, with proper care, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.

Breastfeeding may be affected by breast reduction surgery, depending on the technique used. It’s important to discuss your plans for future breastfeeding with your surgeon during the consultation.

As with any surgical procedure, risks include infection, bleeding, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and asymmetry. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following post-operative care instructions can minimize these risks.

The results are generally long-lasting. However, factors such as significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging can affect breast size and shape over time.

Coverage varies by insurance provider and policy. If the procedure is deemed medically necessary due to physical discomfort, insurance may cover part or all of the cost. It’s advisable to consult with your insurance company and our office for assistance with documentation.

Pre-operative instructions may include undergoing medical evaluations, adjusting current medications, and ceasing smoking. Your surgeon will provide detailed guidelines to ensure you’re well-prepared.

Breast reduction is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are asleep and comfortable throughout the surgery.

Light activities can usually be resumed within 1 to 2 weeks, but it’s important to avoid strenuous exercises and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks to allow proper healing.

Some patients experience changes in nipple sensation, which can be temporary or permanent. Discussing this possibility with your surgeon can provide more personalized information based on your case.
