Breast reduction surgery is a common procedure performed by board-certified plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Arts of New Jersey. Our team of skilled breast reduction specialists take great pride in providing excellent results for their patients. In addition to achieving their desired aesthetic outcome, patients experience significant functional benefits as well. Large breasts can cause symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder grooving, and rashes under the breasts, all of which can be relieved through breast reduction surgery.
During a breast reduction consultation at PSANJ, our plastic surgeons encourage patients to ask as many questions as possible. They want to understand their patient’s goals for what they hope to achieve after surgery. The surgeons will discuss your options for achieving your desired breast size while maintaining a natural, proportional appearance.
It’s important to think about proportion when considering breast reduction surgery. Do you want to wear the same size top as you do the bottom? Do you want the top smaller than the bottom or bigger than the bottom? Discussing these preferences with the surgeon will help determine the best type of breast reduction for you.
Important Questions to Ask During Your Consultation
During your breast reduction consultation, it’s important to ask your surgeon any questions you may have about the procedure. Some questions to consider asking include:
- How many breast reductions have you performed?
- What type of breast reduction technique do you recommend for my case?
- What are the risks and complications associated with breast reduction surgery?
- Will the surgery affect my ability to breastfeed?
- What type of anesthesia will be used for the procedure?
- What is the expected recovery time and post-operative care?
- Can I see before and after photos of previous breast reduction patients?
- What type of scarring can I expect?
- Will I have to wear a surgical bra or compression garment after the surgery?
- What is the expected outcome and how long will it take to see results?
By asking these questions and addressing any concerns or fears, you can feel confident and informed about your breast reduction surgery and have realistic expectations for the results. Remember, a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon will always prioritize patient safety and satisfaction above all else.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery can be a life-changing procedure for many women, providing not only an aesthetic improvement but also relief from physical discomfort and an increase in confidence. One of the primary benefits of breast reduction surgery is relief from back and neck pain caused by the weight of large breasts. Patients often report feeling an immediate improvement in their posture and a reduction in discomfort. The procedure can also alleviate shoulder pain or indentations caused by bra straps, which can be a common issue for women with large breasts. In addition to these physical benefits, breast reduction surgery can also improve the appearance of the breasts, providing a slimmer and more youthful appearance. Patients may also experience improved breast shape and correction of asymmetry. Other benefits include the elimination of skin irritation caused by large breasts and excess skin, as well as the ability to wear cute bras and a larger variety of clothing. Ultimately, breast reduction surgery can lead to increased self-confidence and self-esteem, allowing patients to enjoy a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.
If you plan to have children in the future, it’s important to discuss this with your surgeon. Breast reduction surgery can affect your ability to breastfeed, so your surgeon will want to discuss this with you and ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
At PSANJ, the board-certified plastic surgeons aim to make their patients feel comfortable during their consultations. They believe in open communication and encourage patients to ask any questions they may have. By understanding their patients’ desires, concerns, history, and future plans, they can create customized treatment plan that meets their needs and achieves their desired outcome.
