Mammaplasty otherwise known as a breast reduction, is a procedure to remove excessive breast tissue and reshape breasts to be more propionate to the body. Most often that not, reasons for having this surgery are not cosmetic. Many women suffer from neck and back pain, skin irritation, even skeletal deformities or breathing problems. Bra straps can leave indentations on the shoulders. General discomforts are all unfortunate realities for women who have exceptionally large and heavy breasts.
A breast reduction procedure can alleviate these issues. It can also alleviate the self-consciousness that is often experienced by large and heavy breasts. The first step you are going to take for this surgery is to come in for a consult. During the consultation you will meet directly with the medical director and Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. At this time he will examine, measure and possibly photograph them so he can reference back to them after surgery. It is also possible that your insurance may cover this procedure. If you are over the age of forty we will require that you have a mammogram done before the surgery. We also require that you get blood work, and a pregnancy test done.
This surgery is done on an outpatient basis. You will come in the morning of surgery and will be able to return home that very same day. You will need to make arrangements for someone to drive you home following surgery and to stay with you the night of surgery. There are different techniques that are used for breast reduction procedure. The most common of these techniques is the anchor- shaped incision. This incision circles the areola, extends downwards, and follows the natural crease beneath the breast. This is certainly the trade off to having smaller, fuller breast. You will want to take about a week off from work. You can return to moderate activities two to three days following surgery. You are to avoid any heavy lifting and excessive exercise three to four weeks following surgery.
Los Angeles breast reduction surgery will definitely allow you to get rid of psychical discomfort and for your body to look more proportioned.
