What is breast reduction surgery, and how does it work?
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, reduces the size of your breasts by removing excess fat, tissue, and skin. At Liu Plastic Surgery, the procedure involves incisions to remove this excess, reshaping the breast mounds, and possibly repositioning the nipples for symmetry, all under general anesthesia.
Who is a good candidate for breast reduction in Sacramento?
Ideal candidates are individuals with breasts that are disproportionately large, causing physical issues like back, neck, or shoulder pain, or self-consciousness about appearance. The page notes that women with overly large, heavy breasts often benefit, whether for medical or aesthetic reasons.
What can I expect during recovery from breast reduction?
After surgery, your breasts will be bandaged, and you may experience swelling or bruising for a few days to a week. Pain is managed with prescription medication, and physical activity should be limited for 2-4 weeks to allow healing, with detailed post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon.
How long do the results of breast reduction last?
Results are long-lasting, as excess fat, tissue, and skin are permanently removed. However, maintaining a stable weight is key, as significant weight fluctuations can affect breast size and shape over time.
Will breast reduction surgery affect the appearance of my nipples?
During the procedure, surgeons may reposition the nipples to be centered on the reshaped breast mound for a more proportionate look. The goal is symmetry and an aesthetically pleasing outcome, tailored to your surgical plan.
