Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a smaller breast size.
Having large breasts can be emotionally, socially and physically detrimental. Breast reduction is a good option for you if you:
As with all other breast surgeries, you will be sedated and/or anesthesized for your comfort during your procedure. Dr. McKenna will then make one of two incisions:
After the incision is made, your nipple will be repositioned, the diameter of your areola may be reduced, underlying breast tissue will be reduced, and the remaining breast tissue will be lifted and reshaped. The incisions will then be brought together to reshape the smaller breast.
Dr. McKenna will give you specific instructions on the care of your incisions. If you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heartbeats, seek medical attention immediately. It’s important to note that Incision lines are permanent, but in most cases will fade over time and can be easily concealed beneath a bra.
