How Breast Reduction Surgery Can Help

Women with large breasts often experience physical discomfort, including back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain. They may also have difficulty finding comfortable clothing, participating in physical activities, or feeling self-conscious about their appearance.

Breast reduction surgery can help alleviate these issues by removing excess breast tissue and fat to create a more proportionate and comfortable breast size. Our team will work with you to understand your specific concerns and goals, creating a customized surgical plan to address them.

Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery can have a significant positive impact on your quality of life. Some of the benefits include:

Improved body proportion: Large breasts can create an imbalance in body proportions and make it difficult to find clothing that fits properly. Breast reduction surgery can help create a more balanced and proportionate body shape, making it easier to find clothes that fit and feel comfortable.
Reduced physical discomfort: Smaller breasts can alleviate back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain, making it easier to participate in physical activities.
Improved posture: Large breasts can contribute to poor posture, which can cause back and neck pain. Breast reduction surgery can help improve posture and alleviate pain associated with poor posture.
Improved self-confidence: Breast reduction surgery can enhance your appearance, helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
Better fitting clothing: With a more proportionate breast size, you can more easily find clothing that fits well and is comfortable to wear.

Overall, breast reduction surgery can be a life-changing procedure for women who experience physical or emotional discomfort due to large breasts. By reducing the size and weight of the breasts, women can experience significant physical and emotional benefits and improve their quality of life.

Common Breast Implant Questions at Plastic Surgery Arts of New Jersey

What does the the Breast Reduction procedure entail?

Breast reduction surgery typically involves removing excess breast tissue and fat, repositioning the nipple and areola, and reshaping the breast for a more proportional appearance. Our surgeons use the latest techniques to minimize scarring and ensure the best possible results.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes several hours to complete. You can expect to go home the same day and return to work and other activities within a few weeks.

Am I a candidate for Breast Reduction surgery?

We recommend breast reduction surgery for women who experience physical discomfort or self-consciousness due to the size of their breasts. Candidates for the procedure should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results.

What is the recovery time for Breast Reduction?

Recovery time after breast reduction surgery varies for each patient, depending on factors such as age, overall health and the depth of the surgery. For most breast reduction patients, you will be able to move around with only mild discomfort within the first few days. A significant portion of the swelling and bruising will decrease quickly over 1-2 weeks. It takes several months of healing to reveal the final results, as swelling will continue to decrease over time.

When can I return to work after breast reduction and start exercising again?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 1-2 weeks. Light exercise and more moderate workouts can be considered after 3-4 weeks. Avoid raising your arms above your head and heavy lifting. Patients should refrain from arduous workouts for at least a full month after the breast reduction surgery. Always consult with your physician before exercising, as times vary on a case by case basis.

Will my insurance cover a breast reduction surgery?

It depends on the individual’s insurance policy and the specific criteria set by the insurance provider. Generally, insurance providers will consider covering breast reduction surgery if it is deemed medically necessary due to physical symptoms such as back, neck or shoulder pain, rashes or skin irritation, and difficulty with physical activity.

How can I determine if my insurance will cover a breast reduction?

The best way to determine if your insurance will cover a breast reduction surgery is to review your policy and contact your insurance provider. You may need to provide documentation of your symptoms and medical history to support your claim.

Insurance providers typically require documentation of significant physical symptoms, such as chronic pain, skin irritation, or difficulty with physical activity. They may also require documentation of prior non-surgical interventions, such as physical therapy or pain medication, before considering surgery.
