Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)
Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight, from back and neck pain or skin rashes under the lower portion of the mound, to skeletal deformities and breathing problems. Bra straps may leave painful indentations in a woman’s shoulders.
Additionally, unusually large breasts can make a woman, or teenage girl, feel extremely self-conscious. Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed for such women.
The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller and lighter. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to achieve the look of smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion to the rest of the body.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited ambulatory surgical facility in Naples, Florida.
Most patients are able to return to sedentary work within three or four days.
