What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Excessively large breasts can create social and functional concerns for women. In addition, overly large and unbalanced breasts can lead to self-confidence issues and embarrassment, as well as neck and back pain. Our board-certified plastic surgeons at Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic have helped countless women rebuild their confidence and enjoy the life they want through breast reduction surgery. This cosmetic surgery reduces excess breast fat and skin, as well as unhealthy tissue, to redefine and reshape the breasts to a more compatible size. This surgery also addresses the size and position of the areolas and nipples so they appear normal with the new breast size. In most situations, a breast lift can be performed to give a tighter and healthier appearance.
How Is Breast Reduction Performed?
Breast reduction surgery is performed by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size while alleviating discomfort caused by overly large breasts. The procedure typically involves making incisions around the areola, vertically down the breast, and sometimes along the breast crease, depending on the amount of reduction needed. The remaining tissue will be shaped and lifted to achieve a more balanced and natural contour. In some cases, the areola may be resized or repositioned to create a more symmetrical appearance. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures, and the breasts are wrapped in a supportive bandage to aid in healing.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Reduction?
While a number of individuals might seek ways to grow the shape of their breasts, for others, large breasts can negatively influence their everyday lives and self-image. A breast reduction procedure provides a number of benefits to remake your style and boost your quality of life, including:
- Boosts confidence and self-esteem
- Allows you to get better rest
- Enhances mobility and activity
- Opens up your outfit choices
- Makes exercise and high-impact activities simpler
- Minimizing the volume and weight of the breasts
- Relieves spinal pressure
- Lifts and shapes the breasts
- Helps with skin chafing
- Corrects posture
- Enhances body proportions
- Resizes the nipples
Breast Reduction Reviews
My experience in two surgeries (breast implants and tummy tuck) performed by Dr. A. Paredes, can hardly be improved. His results are impeccable and he is a perfectionist surgeon. When consulting about a cosmetic procedure, he will be clear and tell you the pros and cons. There is a certain warmth in the way the patient is prepared before entering the operating room. The clinic is immaculate and all the doctors and nurses linked to your surgery will make you feel “safe” before and after. “I have had the same feeling in both of my surgeries.” I live in Madrid, but the results I have had are well worth the trip.
Dr Paredes took me on as a patient after me dealing with another place and it turning into a nightmare, I had breast augmentation and he went above and beyond what I pictured and what I’ve always wanted and he literally changed my life, I feel so much better about myself and the skin I’m in, I have a whole new outlook on life and I couldn’t be more thankful for him! Finding a surgeon like him was definitely a blessing! If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!
Could not have asked for a better experience with my breast augmentation. Dr. Paredes and all of his nurses/other staff were wonderful and made this whole experience wonderful. Highly recommend!
I am very pleased with the results of my breast reduction procedure by Dr. Paredes. My pain level is alleviated and my breast look great. The staff is wonderful. Highly recommend
I explanted (removal of breast implants and capsules) with Dr. Rawlings on 12/14/2018. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for him and his staff. From the first consultation to the last follow up I felt important, validated, cared for, etc... I went in initially because I was so sick from the adverse affects breast implants cause. I was not in a good place mentally or physically and my brain fog kept me in a state of confusion and blur. All of my concerns were heard and respected and the assurances were so very much what I needed at the time. I knew I had picked the right surgeon and was in good hands. - I'm now over a year post op and still keep in touch with Dr. Rawlings to share my healing progress since having my implants removed. His dedication to learning and researching all he can about Breast Implant Illness is so inspiring and gives me so much confidence in referring him to other women going through what I did. -- If you're considering using Dr. Rawlings, I assure you that you won't regret doing so. -- Thank you Dr. Rawlings and staff!!! Looking forward to seeing you at my one year post op appointment, though a little late, soon!
